BMW Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) in Fort Collins
Looking to get a PPI before buying a BMW? Poudre Sports Car in Fort Collins is your trusted independent shop for thorough, dealership-level BMW inspections. Whether you’re a buyer sourcing a used car from a private seller or a BMW dealer, a PPI is your best protection before finalizing the transaction.
Why Get a PPI for a BMW?
A BMW pre-purchase inspection protects you from hidden problems that don’t show up in a basic dealer PPI. Buying a car without one? You’re risking thousands in future repairs. PPI’s reveal concerns that sellers or dealerships may not disclose—issues like injector failure, coil degradation, engine leak history, or a slipping transmission.
If you’re buying a pre-owned M3 or evaluating a clean-looking e92 from a seller on Bimmerpost.com, e90post.com, or 1addicts.com, this step is essential.
What’s Included in Our BMW Inspection?
Our BMW PPI includes:
- Full visual inspection of the engine bay, undercarriage, and exhaust
- Electronic diagnostics (OEM-level)
- Cylinder compression test (when requested)
- Injector and coil function review
- Leak and suspension check
- Brake, tire, and steering inspection
- Transmission and drivetrain evaluation
- Road test (we drive the car)
We also compare known BMW service bulletins and model-specific issues against what we see. A BMW specialist performs your inspection—not a general mechanic.
