Yesterday's Weapons Forums

I have a recent story I would like to share with you other bike riders. I ride a 2004 K1200 GT BMW, this is my second BMW my first was a 2003 k1200 RS till it got totaled by some SOB! in a truck that hit me. but anyway moving on. I bought this 04 GT used in 2006 with a little less than a year remaining on the warranty. After one problem early in the season I had an issue free riding season and put the bike up for the winter. When I pulled the bike out of storage ad rode it down to the dealer for the yearly inspection, oil change and checkup, I noticed my cruise control switch was not working correct. Yes Beemers have cruise control. The dealer confirmed the switch was bad, but they don't sell a replacement switch, you have to get the entire left control module and it plugs in under the tank. So this left me with an estimated repair of $550 and My warranty had expired last july. I wrote BMW and pleaded my case. I explained that I was on my second bike and that I got my father into BMW's, as well as one of my best friends who is on his second BMW. and that I was not use to problems with there bikes. After an email back asking for VIN number and mileage and where it is serviced at, a week went by.... Then I got the best voice mail ever, BMW said after reviewing my case they were going to cover the repair 100% I could not be happier. Not only do they have one of the best bike warranty's at 4 yrs they will take care of customers that are a year out of warranty. I don't know any other bike company doing that. I will by another BMW the next time around.

if i was in the market for a bike id take this as an omen to buy german. ive always ridden english, sounds like you got treated very well and that makes for loyal customers ......... congrats

Some of the best service I have ever had. The dealer knew I was fighting with the insurance company about the value of the 03 rs that got totaled, he held the 04 GT for 3 months with no money down till I got it all worked out. Who does that?
