| Number of Cylinders: 0 | Date of Manufacturer: - |
| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The motorcylce mirrors did not hold position after less than two months of riding, especially in warmer temperatures. the dealer replaced the mirrors at n/c and indicated they would have to order in a bunch more because they expected to see more of the same. the mirror ball-joint and black plastic housing do not hold up to continuous vibration after heating up in the sun. i expect my replacement mirrors will fail within a matter of weeks, depending on summer heat. i sent an email to bmw and got a boiler-plate response to go through the dealer. this is a serious safety issue and design flaw. any vehicle, but especially a motorcycle, with malfunctioning visual systems is a tragedy waiting to happen. |
