Arrive safely
Regular visits to the workshop
for routine servicing are
strongly recommended 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 war-
ranty period has expired, evi-
dence of regular maintenance
by an authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer is essential.
Certain signs of wear may not
otherwise 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 remedial action if nec-
essary 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 appoint-
ments 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.
