My daily commute/work hack has died!
It seems that BMW is aware of this issue from the online complaints and everything else being said, but to add insult to injury the prices for replacements are about half the cost of the bike! I've been quoted for the driveshaft by BMW (a new part number for drive shaft! 33731598825 - £700), they also don't sell the main pinion gear either, you need to replace the whole box! Main stealers quoted me £2,125 for parts only.
I've had better quotes from Motorworks, but still looking at £1k for used parts to repair it.
I don't think I could get away with welding material and cutting the inner splines again (Engineer) or to the same with the pinion. Does anyone know anyone UK or EU-based that completes overhauls? Any help would be appreciated before I have to sell my mother to get the bike back on the road.
