New to BMW

[Phmode]

No, but you are off a start which is very much like the way it will probably continue....

Brian (not a cynical bone in his body, honest  )

[Charlie farley]

Well if thats how its going to be me and bmw will have a very short relationship 

[chriscanning]

Well if thats how its going to be me and bmw will have a very short relationship 

Hence why I'd bet their was a collective sharp intake of breath from the collective on here when it starts 'I've bought' as opposed to rocking up on here and asking 'What do you think I should buy'

Perversely it's become almost a sport 

[Charlie farley]

We'll have to see what the very nice man at .......... bmw says when he reads his email on tuesday  , so far he's been very good, other than what are fixable niggles to me may not concern others I'm finding the k a very quick comfy bike that should do exactly as I need it to.

Yer a wally Chris! Be nice to him, I bet we all bought before we asked 'What?'.

Brian (who, on the other hand, thinks Chris is quite right and more to the point, he enjoys the sport  )

[Charlie farley]

Thats ok im quite thick skinned,  as for the faults /niggles on my bike I did point them out on the test ride and was told they would be sorted they obviously weren't reading the list I wrote , so the second time they looked at my list but not all of it and created a new fault , so 3rd time lucky maybe all the list and fix the work creation fault .
Said list was only 4 lines long _clutch,camchain,oil warning float and indicators timer. Simples 

[Phmode]

OK, can I open the next can of worms and ask if you bought the bike from a 'certified' BMW dealer?

Brian (who uses the term 'certified' in 'quotes' because the word has more than a couple of meanings)

[Charlie farley]

Yes the dealer is a certified bmw only bike emporium the  bike is used  approved bmw, FSH by bmw . the reason im not mentioning them by name is that I believe they should be given a fair chance to put right so far there conduct has been very professional.

[Phmode]

....and when they have fixed it up perfectly, you can Praiee them in the Praise or Shame board.

Brian (wno wonders what will happen if they don't.....)

[Charlie farley]

We will have to see what happens

[Niall]

No I don't drive little 4x4s as im not a hairdresser, chrysler 300c tourning currently. 

Toyota owners club has an expert on the T180 version - the mk3 (high power diesel) called Charlie Farley. With the eco chip, they make 220bhp and generally, solid and reliable as old boot

[Costas]

Clutch noise points towards the Couplng cap under s/n 1217724328. Hope I'm wrong.

[chriscanning]

Well at least you have bought the bike from a franchised dealer,the fun starts when folks don't,the next problem you'll encounter is the extended warranty renewal dropping through the letter box in a years time.

[Charlie farley]

Sorry costas but that means nothing to me but if you hope your wrong it must be serious .
extended warranty is not a problem for the  piece of mind.
also can you tag someone in a reply so they know you have included them ?

[Phmode]

Don't know what that means, perhaps you could explain.
