I'll paste your message into the forum and see what pops up.Next, obvious, question is - are you a member of the BMW Owners Register of NZ (Inc)? I have been a member, albeit not very active, since I bought my first Bavarian Money Waster eleven years ago. It has been worth every cent of the membership just to have access to so much accumulated wisdom about the marque over the years. I know there are plenty of airhead boxer owners who do most of their own maintenance, and they all seem to be very willing to provide tips, advice, photos and so on. Me, I'm a Johnnie-come-lately ponce with an oilhead (R1100S), and while I have had a few good-sized bills from Experience, I am always confident that the work I have paid for has in fact been done. My (sometimes bitter) experience (small e, not the dealership, you understand 😆 ) has been that you can pay a big bill in some places around Auckland only to find out the buggars have rorted you and not done all the work.I'll get back to you if I hear of any suggestions.Kind regards,Bwucie.
