Just been searching for service or consumable items. What a difference in prices:
BMW want £61 for a set of front brake pads - EBC are between £15 and £23 depending on the compound version you go for.
Rear pads £52 as oppossed to same range from EBC - Galper want £25 and they are OEM suppliers.
Oil filter £14 from BMW, but £5.99 posted or £6.95 from MotoBins.
Air Filter - £19 from BMW or £12.30 from others.
NGK spark plugs: £12 each from BMW or £2.95 from Sportsbike shop for the same DR8EB plugs....
How do BMW get anyone to go to their workshops with mark ups like these? Glad I asked around! I know it is personal choice, but that is a mighty price to pay for convenience.
