It's not at all uncommon for dealerships to not certify M cars for the CPO program. My local dealer in Durham NC does not, and neither did Fields BMW in Chicago where I bought my low mileage 2016. Both dealerships implied that it's BMW NA policy. That said, they were more than happy to sell me very expensive BMW extended warranties lol. (I opted out btw, very comfortable maintaining/fixing BMWs on my own.)
You didn't by chance buy it from BMW of San Luis Obispo did you? If so, I'm very sorry for you. Those guys are bonafide "crooks", they are the poster child of why dealerships get such a bad wrap. I would not put it past them at all to whitewash a car with a shady history and misrepresent it to some poor unsuspecting buyer as "mint, driven by grandpa only on sunny Sundays".

I'm not sure how to check where it was first registered. It doesn't say on the CarFax printout they gave me. On the AutoCheck one it does say the car was most recently sold at a manufacturer auction in the "Eastern Region". But it seems to have every indication of an M school car, given there were at least 4 for sale in this area with the *exact* same specs/options/CCB's right down to the 10-11k mileage. And the M school pen between the seats lol. And no it was not BMW of San Luis Obispo.
