Hi All,
I purchase a low mileage 2015 GSA in September this year from a BMW dealer. It only had 1300 miles on the clock and appeared to be in excellent condition.
I spent some time looking for any signs of corrosion before buying it, couldn't see any in the obvious places, and did the deal.
Less than a month later, while washing the bike, I discovered what looks like the start of corrosion on the final drive just below the plastic spinney dust seal.
So I emailed the dealer I purchased it from, sent lots of pictures etc to see how to get this fixed under warranty.
After many many polite emails to try and get an update, I finally got a reply today to say that BMW would only cover half of the cost, and that I would need to pay the other £744!
Bike is only used for pleasure and is always cleaned with no harsh chemicals as per my OCD!
Does this sound normal? Has anyone else had the final drive replaced FOC for corrosion reasons?
Any advice appreciated.
Matt
