[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 1238013, member: 257"] Well, since this is an FJR forum and I am who I am... Before jumping in get some real world info about cost of ownership, long-term reliability, and just how that legendary BMW dealership support goes if you don't do all your maintenance and repair within their network. IMO: Buy in is high ROI: Isn't that great based on buy-in and maintenance. Reliability: Far too many failure reports out there of the type that leave you stranded. I actually had a group (6 or so) BMW owners hanging around kicking tires at a RTE who all agreed that the stories about dropping everything to help a traveling rider typically start with a call to their local servicing dealer to confirm whether or not they are a "good customer". Dealership Network: Thin (see reference for using them or being snubbed in an emergency) [/QUOTE]
