General Question on Dealing with BMW as a company
#9
I've had 11 BMWs, 1 Ducati, 3 Kawasakis, 3 Suzukis, 2 Triumphs and 1 Yamaha.

A couple of years ago I "restored" a 1991 K!. Oem parts for the K1 were readily available even though the bike was close to 30 years old.

My experience has been that all the manufacturers seemed to be pretty similar. Usually by the time the manufacturer get involved the dealership was not able to meet your needs or there was a recall.

Personally when I look to buy a new vehicle I look at the dealership as much as the vehicle and price. My future satisfaction is in large part due to the customer service provided by the dealership.

We currently have a 2015 BMW X! with the xdrive and 90,000 miles on it. To date we have had to change the battery, the rear brake pads and had to replace the thermostat which was covered under extend warranty due to issues with the part. Other than that regular maintenance that is all we have done. Consumer Report indicates that our model year is fairly reliable.

Total miles on BMW motorcycles is just over 200,000 miles. I have had everything from S1000RRs to R1200s to RTs to K100RS abs and a K1600GT.

Currently I have a R1250RT with 17,000 miles on it and have been very satisfied.
