Looking for advice / views

[DazGS]

Hi all
I have at last found a GSA within price range, its a 2016 with full service history. Alll seems good but i asked for confirmation if the bike had Gear Shift Assist Pro, the image sent through appears to show a different frame colour. Now I have seen that, I notice the front forks look a different colour but thought it was just the photo taken.
Its marketed as light White but would be interested if others have seen this before please. I am due to complete the purchase next week and will call the BMW dealer on Monday but thought i would ask the forum. Hopefully pictures attached:

Looks ok to me, mines in the light white paint scheme. Black fork lowers and frame, maybe just the sun impacting the photos?

Thanks looks like you could be right, me being over cautious i guess. Like you say could be the sun, thanks again.

Fairing looks black ? I’d have guessed triple black

Or maybe it’s just me

The forks are a different material to the fairing and reflect the light in a very different way. Mine always take on a different tinge in certain lights and almost never look black as such. It’s always difficult to tell from pictures but I think these look absolutely fine.

Thanks all for the response, good to hear it is probably the light / sun, have a viewing arranged for Wednesday. SO hope all is ok as can't wait to get a GSA..

If you can get the vin number you could use the vin number checker at the top of this section on the forum. It will list all the extras the bike had when made.

I would say also it is the sun, nobody could do such a bad paint job, even below it is dual color..................

I have got the build details of the bike and nothing seems out of order.

Very true that would be a bad paint job, i will find out this coming week. I may give the dealer a call and get them to email further pics, just to be sure.

The frame colour looks weird to me. I can’t ever recall seeing a one two tone like in the first pic. You would think if it was supposed to be two different colours, they would have used the join as a change point. That is, unless it is a very prominent shadow.
