After all the previous trials and tribulations of ownership I now find the paint bubbling on my filler cap can I reject this bike under the sales of goods act?
The Final Straw
- Thread starter ianran
- Start date
Just come indoors from doing the 'fuel tank mod' - I noticed the paint starting to bubble on my filler cap as well. Thought I'd mention it on the board but you've just beaten me to it!
I assume it can be replaced under warranty?

I think you'll find the toolkit does not include straws, as most customers polled did not require them.

You may be able to reject the bubbles....

But what caused it? That is the $64 m question.
Is it the Shite paint work or petrol spillage?
Or, if youhave done the tank mod, can BMW reject a warranty claim for tampering???
Sorry to be the bringer of doom and all that jazz

Doing the "tank mod" doesn't involve the filler cap so I doubt you'd have a problem there.
I've found BMW (or at least my local dealer) to be more than fair when considering warranty claims on a bike that's been "modified" by myself
I reckon a batch of duff paint, or a duff application. I've sprayed petrol all over the damn thing on a couple of occasions with no damage to the paintwork.

How old are the bikes gents? Are they very early models?
Mine's October 2004 - As I said I only noticed because I was doing the fuel tank mod which involves removing the filler cap - otherwise I wouldn't have noticed - it's barely noticable at the moment but still enough to suggest that it will get worse/spread - like the front engine cover which has also started to go! I intend to get them changed at the end of the summer before the warranty runs out.

Have had 2 engine guards, 2 cylinder heads and both wheels replaced - all under warranty and all with bubbling paint. They should replace it all for you.
