Normal
All of the brands have poor performing units (some more than others) and poor service departments dotted around, even in europe. BMW is currently installing a brand new state of the art facility in AZ at MMI to add presence for training techs for their product in the US. I build different products for the high performance BMW aftermarket, and the most common problem with their auto's is electronic's problems. Not sure about the bikes though?I have always been tempted by the BMW, but apart from the first place Harley, the BMW is the second place brand of bike I see most stranded on the highway. The IBR is not a bad litmus test either for the durability of a product. For now I'll take my chances on a rice burner.At the end of the day it doesn't matter how much you spend on a vehicle, $1 or $100.000, if you can't find a good mechanic to service it, it's not worth squat.
