Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Driving on i10 in new mexico at 80mph, followed by two semi trucks my bike suddenly quit without warning or reason, I came very close to being run over by the two trucks following me. Dealer contacted Bmw and it appears they are aware of this problem but no recall has been indicated. Apparently, according to Bmw, the electric contacts on the fly by wire system are coated with a rust inhibitor common in any industry. …”
