BMW Motorrad serviceBMW Motorrad service
qualityBMW Motorrad stands not only
for good handling and a high
degree of reliability, but also for
an excellent quality of service.
To ensure that your BMW is
always in optimum condition,
we recommend that you have
the regular maintenance work
required for your motorcycle
carried out and that you have
this done preferably at your
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer. For goodwill services
after the expiry of the warranty,
proof of regular maintenance is
an indispensable precondition.
Certain signs of wear, moreo-
ver, may otherwise not be
noticed until it is too late to
rectify them at moderate cost.
Your authorised BMW motorcycle dealer knows your
motorcycle intimately and can
step in before small problems
become extremely serious
issues. By having the neces-
sary repairs done properly and
in good time, you save time
and money in the long run.
