I did think long about it. But, compared to mine the later engine had a better gearbox, is smoother, has less vibes through the bars and therefore (for me) a nicer ride.
Not too much aggro in reality.

I got a new engine that runs much sweeter than the original ever did
The dealer loaned me a bike for the time that mine was off the road
The dealer valeted my bike so it came back shining like a brand new one
My bike was due a 12k or 2 year service which I didn't have to pay for in full because of the new engine. All I paid for was the non engine side of the service which cost me £60
Before, during and after the process both BMW and my dealer (NOG) were brilliant
Would I buy another BMW from NOG based on the aftersales experience I received? Too right I would
Where do you think I bought my Scrambler X from last December?

Bought my 2013 GS in Oct 2015 from a dealer for 8k. Engine had been replaced in 2014 and had done 15k. Oct 2016 I noticed corrosion (mainly because I was looking for it!) Emailed the dealer some pics etc and BMW said they'd replace the engine foc. Bike was out of corrosion warranty.
Just before it was due to be done I beat myself up pretty bad falling off a mountain bike and hitting a tree. BMW not worried about that, they picked the bike up, changed engine, fully Valetted the bike and returned to me. Looked like brand new! So I now have a bike which I paid £8k for and has a 2016 engine, clutch, gearbox and swingarm. It's a keeper!
Customer service is excellent and so are the bikes. Did a shit load of research before buying, including reading nearly all this forum since 2013 and the bikes are excellent.
You need to remember you get a disproportionate amount of negativity on forums because people don't search "my bike hasn't broken down"!
Could anyone help me please.
Take a look at the pictures and let me know does it qualify for engine replacement?

BMW admitted it was a fault and replaced engine and swingarm.

Your engine isn't in your pics?
I had to submit additional photographs to BMW via my dealer as they wanted to get a feel for the overall general condition of the bike

The final drive looks like it's been operating the winch gear on a trawler
So far I just noticed corrosion on final drive- absolutely by coincidence, but I'll take a look at engine Friday.
Do you think is worth to go to dealer or wait and see what is happens?

It's always worth asking the dealer in my opinion. It's not going to get any better and in a few years it may look really bad. I'm pretty sure BMW don't want corroded engines and swingarms riding around as an advert, hence why they replace them I suspect.
It must be costing them a fortune.
Perhaps if they built them properly in the first place.

It really is madness. It is not an issue of poorly 'built' engine mechanicals. This is just an issue of primer/paint.
Sorry I could have phrased it better. I totally agree.
