A mate of mine has a 1200RT
On a recent Austrian trip he kept pestering us all to tell him our air temperature readings.
Turns out the air temp sensor on his RT is massively off scale (5°C or even more). He's already gone twice to his BMW dealership and twice he got the same reply: they all do it, no point starting a warranty claim.
The cause given is since the sensor is inside the fairing there's, and he is quoting, "a hot air pocket" that drives temperatures up.
Could be, but he suspects BMW would have come up with a fix (a few extra lines in the firmware for example) given their attention to details.
So... do you know if this is true or is he being sold b0lloxs?
Thanks.
