New Features on the BMW Motorrad USA Website - Parts Catalog & Help for Travelers

[exgman]

I was looking for the online manual today for my RT at the BMW Motorrad USA website. I found the manual under the "Service & Maintenance" heading in the drop-down menu. While there I noticed two features I'd never seen before. One was an electronic catalog of parts for any BMW motorcycle (according to the site). This is similar to what some dealers provide in an online parts "fiche." Here is the page:



Then right below that in the menu is something which might aid those who take their BMWs overseas or rent in foreign countries. It's an online dictionary which appears to be printable, and it translates parts of BMW motorcycles, and other questions from English into a number of other languages, or the reverse, as the case may be. This might be helpful in situations in which the bike has a problem or a breakdown:



Perhaps these will be helpful to some...

Here's the discussion about this from a few years ago:

In checking it again, it doesn't work before 1967 and there's a gap in coverage from 1971-1973. So, it might work for newer models but leaves some of us without any coverage. Fortunately, there are other online sources like MaxBMW and RealOEM.
