Interest rates are one of the biggest hurdles even for a dealer. BMW Financial has some very good used rates compared to many other banks/credit unions, but they are still stupidly high and when one compares a "free" % loan bike off the dealer floor to a used one the used option has to have an...

"parts is parts", "spec is spec" 🍻 🍻

I would be making a bad guess at best as there are so many factors as to M.P.G., tire wear and such. I have one traffic light within ten miles of my home and have to choose to use that intersection so I can pretty much avoid all, but a few of them while riding 100s of miles on our lightly...

I think that the R18 B-TC are almost 2X the weight of the Pure has to contribute to just how much improvement can be realized in a situation like your test is creating. I'd be interested in the before and after results on the bikes if you recall those results and would share please? I've spent...

They must have changed things from 2021, as from what you describe is different than my experience. My email notification of payment showed much the same as your attachment, but also when going into the BMW FS website my amortized table for each affected month shows their and my contribution...

Excellent idea, but it will have to be next year for me. Your backyard is home to some of the best and most diverse riding anyone could hope to enjoy so that in itself is great motivation for folks to head your way with tire kicking, breaking bread and raising a glass or two being icing on the...

Welcome from Blue Ridge country in NC. Share a photo or two when you get a chance too 🍻 🍻

Keep stretching her legs for a proper break in and the M.P.G. should increase along with noticeable smoother running and a nicer exhaust note too. After approximately 3000-4000 miles mine was objectively noticeably better in all categories and continued to improve to 9,000 ish miles much like...

Something is definitely amiss. My experience was similar to the other replies with payments on time and $$ contribution as advertised from BMW FS. What interest rate is showing on your paperwork and on the actual bill from BMW? If the rate is proper than it would seem they received paperwork...

Here is a cut and paste of my earlier reply for an identical conversation. FWIW 🍻🍻 "I've enjoyed many miles on my R18 Classic to include extensive touring across the US and while I would have greatly enjoyed some of your touring upgrades (suspension, petrol capacity, etc.), my overall...

Riding 16 in NC, VA and WV is a favorite loop and the R-18 is more fun to ride there than most would imagine, enjoy! 🍻

Seems like a B.S. stance as there is no modification taking place (I mentioned if connectors are compatible it's "plug and play". I realize these are a sealed unit and so are the other options. The adaptive setup is actually an option along with headlight pro as part of the items listed in the...

While I agree this kind of thing shouldn't happen the endless whinging isn't going to get a replacement any sooner. Even the great Harley with two headlights had a huge recall recently due to their brake lights having a mind of their own and one can check all OEMs and find many others. Doesn't...

Welcome! A couple good suggestions above and if you search the long list of threads on the site you will find many have shared results from their own searches and modifications. Wunderlichamerica, R18Holden, Hornig, Clearwater, etc., etc., etc., have everything from windshields, exhausts...

I would go into settings so you can see how these features are turned on-off and make sure they are off. Then do a couple starts-stops to check if they are still coming on. If not all is good, but if they are still remaining on that would be something I'd check further with your shop.

Same here, oftentimes I believe my purpose is to make others "look good" which as a silver lining has kept from being persona non grata in more than one watering hole ;) 🍻 🍻

Sounds good and hopefully finding time for riding is the only problem moving forward. Here's a link to the owner's manual, page 36 covers "courtesy" light delay in turning off and "parking" light settings. r18 manual 🍻

Totally adjustable. I had to play with my settings as the readout isn't adjusted for temps like the regular OEM units do and I was getting an alarm going off when there was no issue present. Takes just a couple seconds on the app.

The R18 Classic and FE use a different LED headlamp than the R18 B and TC and the Classic unit is also used in the R9T variations. If my bike was sitting around and/or preventing me from taking a major trip because of waiting on a backordered light, I would have the shop check if the LED unit...

I use an angle chuck too, but that is a nicer one. I also use "fobo" tire pressure valve stem caps and they have worked trouble free for almost two years now and I just replaced the batteries as one was "in the yellow". I still check with my gauge now and again, but have found I can depend on...
