I had a airhead Bite My Wallet.... it was only good for one thing.... gobbling asphalt all day long at 75 mph with the little wife... until it broke down in the middle of ho dunk Ohio..... as I called the nearest BMW dealer.. 3 hrs away.. I looked outside the window from my hotel room at the Honda dealer and regretted I sold a very nice Cb900 to buy the BeeMer. Friends hauled it home from Mid Ohio, rental car bent me over for a additional " fee " because I wasn't going to bring the rental back... once home the local BeeMer guru had a used " ignitor " for only $500.oo.
So the grand total for a BMW owner short trip ... ..$ 1000 repair / hotel / towing + the Divorce
Was it Honda ---You meet the Nicest people on a Honda ----And then You lose them on a BMW
As I mentioned If you were to show up on a BMW .. with those I Knew then you would lose friends also.
Come to think of it I don't know anyone now either bare one that is into BMW s motorcycles
But they have a better reputation now after their sports bikes. .. Being a success. Suddenly
Perhaps something to take into account
Joking aside I would be careful if there are Injection Problems .. This is a bit newer but some ten years earlier
the injections for cars could cause problems I think the term is " Lemon "
The reputation was some worked always and forever come rain shine or winter and others never worked
Not starting ..High petrol usage and throttle hang revving .
No matter what the shop did.
The early ones Bosch was complicated things ... But this is newer and perhaps OK but I would read up on that and ask around.
Since it is specialized Bosch it might need dealer shop time .. And the cost rack up
30 k it has been standing ..if there are rust somewhere in the fuel line
We can rack up another divorce on a BMW if the negotiations is tough already..
