Without commenting on the BMW management response to problems, I have a little different view of the reliability issues of BMWs. Old and time tested technology is more reliable than new and innovative technology. In the car world, the ancient Toyota Corolla is one of the most reliable vehicles and is still plugging along with a 4 speed automatic transmission. Some of the most advanced cars are regularly bashed because of glitches or people misusing new and innovative technology.
I remember when my Dad would not buy a car with an automatic transmission, power steering or electronic ignition because they broke and he couldn't fix them.
I like reliable but I don't like riding or driving something that time has passed by. BMW has been a leader in bring new technology to motorcycles and that brings the risk of problems.
