****ing stroll on. Today, the gearbox in the GS died after a paltry 2415
total miles since new back in December.

Recovered by BMW to the dealership and I now have the pleasure of riding
around...

































....in a ****ing Ford Focus.

You're not the first, and you probably won't be the last one, either...

Good grief - that's awful. The gearboxes are definitely agricultural -
at least from the noises they make. The one on my GS has certainly got
rougher over time but at least I haven't had a catastrophe.

Hope it gets sorted soonest.

Depending on seriousness of fault, reject it immediately and demand a new
one, not repairs.

No loaner form them either? Is it just me thinking that's un-reasonable?

Well, that's just it; the c*r is via BMW as part of the BMW assist
programme.

I did ask for a bike, but the dealership reckoned they hadn't got one and
steered me toward taking the c*r from BMW UK.

Should they not fix it within 48hrs, the dealership get to pay for the
loan c*r.

Saw your earlier post just now; must be the day for it.
