I've got this '22 RS cooking, and, given supply chain issues (and general impatience), I'm lining up mods/accessories, including panniers and liner bags (which will be OEM in Asphalt Grey).
In some search or another, this place came up:
https://bmw.europe-moto.com/gb/
They have what appears to be a smokin' deal on the exact package described above (including locksets and attachment hardware) for just under $1,100, delivered to KC. Maybe it's the "if it's too to be true..." ethos I was raised with, but I continued to dig on reviews of the company, service, etc., and it's not that pretty a picture.
"In stock" turns out to be a stretch in many cases, it seems, and then there are the unexpected DHL "duty" charges that pop up before they'll leave it at your door. To quantify it, their "TrustPilot" score was about a 2.1 on 5-point scale.
Before I back off and see what my friendly dealer might be able to do (along with all the other stuff I'll have him order), I just thought I'd see if anyone here has had any experience with this particular vendor.
