Some dealers feel this result isn't worth the effort - so they don't certify their cars.

Not really a big deal. If you MUST have a CPO car, then simply buy elsewhere.
though BMW-CPO versus buying 3rd party extended warranty the CPO seems like a better deal for the buyer ? And in the long run a better opportunity for the dealer ?
