I would speculate there are two reasons. You have to understand the CPO (insurance) tag on a car is authorized by BMWNA not the dealer. The dealer has to pay BMWNA for that privilege and , to recover that payment, add that cost to the asking price of the car. Two reasons are:

1) (likely) The dealer does not want to add to the asking price of the car and
2) The car, itself, does not meet a BMWNA criteria for cars they authorize to be labeled CPO. For example, a car with frame damage would not be allowed to be a CPO labeled car.

In any case, I think it's a good question to ask the dealer.
