GSA first registered in Jan 2015, dealer demonstrator. Bought it from Bahnstormers in June 2015. Valve screeching by November at 12,000 miles, full header replacement under warranty in December.
Had 18,000 miles service done in August, exhaust servo motor picked up on the software as faulty again. Now booked in for ANOTHER full header replacement this month.
Spoke to the dealer principle about the issue, said it was obviously a design fault, more and more of these are failing and that my warranty expires Jan 16. Asked where we go from there if this next header fails, and he suggested I contact Customer Services and purchase the extended warrantee for around £300 a year.
Wait a minute - are you saying I should pay for extended warranty to fix the BMW design fault issue??? I'm sure there's something inherently wrong with that response!
Looking at fleabay, not only Akrapovic are doing their headers and cans, but there's a couple more firms now doing them too. I might just have this warranty replacement done, and wait for the next servo motor failure before buying de-cat headers.
I think it's pretty shocking and disgusting that you have to replace full exhausts on a £16k BMW motorcycle at your own cost...... its all wrong.
Sell it for a brand new one then
