Better to be prepared!!!, bollocks after spending £12k + i wouldnt expect the bike to constantly fail, especially with such low miles and such a young bike! Why do BuMW owners accept these problems, they arent character just piss poor design and quality problems!!!

They get accepted because its seen as a premium product. Regardless whether the bike is any good, they are subconsciously aligned alongside the cars which are brilliant.

So, by spending a lot of money on a bike the hype needs to be protected. Our BMW's were awful at day to day work. They cost a fortune in parts and more importantly, they were off the road too much. Second hand residuals were also not as great as (again) marketing people would have you believe.

If you buy this brand you have to accept you will get lots of problems. Is that no different to owning a Ducati though?
