There IS more to that story , after finally getting fed up , after 2 1/2 years of getting stonewalled by BMW & their crappy local Grand Rapids stealer , I took them to Federal Court under the Magnuson-Moss Lemon Law , ( Michigan has no lemon laws for MCs ) Armed with 4 of the stealer's service documents on the same problem(s) , BMW tried to lie to the court about me which the dates on their own service papers proved to the court THEY were lying ( perjury ! ) ; I won the cost of a new engine & ECM computer & lawyers's fees , I sold off the RT , "as-is" on ebay , because , again , the local stealer could not be trusted to rebuild this new RT after all I had been through with him . I ended up almost coming out even , money wise , but still went through 2 1/2 years of stress with them . Which is why I will NEVER recommend BMW to anyone ! If people don't like that , tough ! , they didn't go through the 2 1/2 years of hell I went through ! --- I hate to see others get screwed like I did by BMW !
