Are you able to adjust ESA to your particular weight and riding conditions? Cost is important, but if ESA is configurable then the extra cost is acceptable. Also are there ESA replacements outside BMW? My understanding is that there is no non-BMW replacements, but it's early so three years from now who knows right? Finally, I hear that ESA is not covered by extended warranty, if it starts to leak, it's considered wear and tear.....any truth to this?

I have found this type of option is sort of "expected" at the time of resale. A bike without it will cost more in the beginning but will yield more (than one without) in the end. YMMV

Yeah, that's it.You mean a bike "with" it will cost more in the beginning but yield more than one without in the end?
One aspect of ESA that is cool, is that if you have a passenger, you can set it at solo, have the passenger mount (as the bike is lower), then switch to either rider with luggage (if passenger is not too heavy) or 2 up and then when ride is done, put it back at solo for passenger dismount. Makes it a lot easier if the bike is high to begin with (as RT's and GS's generally are).

Wilbers does a similar service as Race Tech. They are a British company. The Beemer Shop is, if I understand it correctly, an American representative for Wilbers so we have a couple of options when it comes time to update our ESA equipped suspension systems.
Ask the same question when the shocks die.
