.....Fingers crossed that'll be the end of it.
It's never the end haha...
Your'e probably right as I've now got a hole in my FD rubber boot. Please stop finding things wrong with your bike as I seem to develop the same faults soon after!!

Checked mine last night, at least 7 in the back and 4 in the front . One of the front so loose you can wobble it around with your fingers. Being recovered to the dealer for checking today! 3400 miles and less than a year old.
Update from Vines they have fitted a new wheel to the front as 11 loose, and checked and tightened the rear as they only found 4 loose. Bike being delivered back today. Can’t fault that for service. But will keep a regular check over the coming miles.
What happened to the other 3 on the rear?
I guess what they call loose is different to me, hence a lot more on the front than I detected but less on the rear!! I trust the guys at Vines, but as I say will be giving them all a good ting tong on a regular basis over the coming months.
It’s a very subjective assessment as to what’s loose or not, I had a couple of ‘dull’ sounding spokes on the rear (mainly down to the ‘ring’ being damped by touching the adjacent spoke) - none that I’d call loose but dealer replaced my wheel anyway, now all the spokes have a definite ‘ring’ to them when tapped with a spanner.
Thank goodness you’re not a motorbike engineer then.
I think he meant that they may not have been loose , just not tight enough
Lefty loosey, righty tighty
They were obviously loose enough to warrant a new wheel

But obviously not for the OP who came off his bike, as BMW got away with it, and everyone was blaming the brake caliper.
