This is wonderful news

I've been having trouble getting my "better half" to understand why a BMW bike is worth the extra money. And thus far, quality, features, retained value, safety .......... have all not been convincing.

I think she might just buy-in on this basis.

Does it come with a performance warranty?

I just sent that to my dealer asking: "Should I expect similar issues or is this just an isolated case?".

Avoid messing with the lumbar supports while driving

Haha did the same thing - but asked for a warranty check of seats as I have not received a similar situation.

Defects and liability period capped at 20 months it seems, not sure whether any re-"tension" applies
