Regular visits to the workshop for rou-
tine servicing are strongly recom-
mended even after the warranty period
has elapsed. They are the only way to
be genuinely certain that your BMW is
being kept in perfect working order.
For goodwill work after the warranty
period has expired, evidence of regular
maintenance by an authorised BMW
motorcycle dealer is essential.
Certain signs of wear may not other-
wise be noticed until it is too late to put
them right at moderate cost. The staff
in the authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer or workshop know every detail
of your motorcycle and can take reme-
dial action if necessary before minor
faults develop into serious problems.
By having the necessary repairs done
properly and in good time, you save
time and money in the long run.
… serviceYou can obtain accurate advice in all
cases, and make appointments with a
firm completion deadline which we
will comply with punctually. But the
most gratifying feeling of all is that
your BMW is in genuinely good shape
when it leaves the authorised BMW
motorcycle dealer's workshop – and
above all, safe.
