So I bought a 1200GS ADV, great bike.
EDC failed on one occasion, no log in the bike, hasn't happened again.
Second fault, starter issue. Filmed this on Google Glass so the dealer could see.

Also had a neutral issue (can't find from 1st once every few times).
Fixes:
Switch may have been the cause of the EDC issue, it's a new fault for BMW according to their German techs, video helped this. Replaced!
Gearbox - seems the oil to run in is a different (thinner) type than the regular oil. Fault seems to be diminishing with use and run in.
Bike is great, totally love it and can't wait to get some normal tyres on it (these TK80's look great but I do mostly on-road and the weave at just above motorway speed is a little disconcerting).
Pick up luggage today, only 2 weeks to get coded locks, result!
BMW Motorrad in Glasgow have plenty of sets FYI.
