Not everything will automatically fall into the customer's favor. Although surprising a fuel pump would fail that quickly it is not unheard of. Bikes that sit for much of their life can and do have odd failures from time to time. Gas has the capability of ruining a fuel pump if the bike is not used frequently. BMW is not the cause of all problems.
Yes, but no where in the owners manual does it say an owner has ride a bike x miles a year or whatever time frame. They can claim the same thing with fuel strips and probably do on some level. It's the fuel...OK. Well, As owners, we can't do anything about the quality of the fuel. If that's the case, then design something that can take it. Even my crappy Suburban is Flex Fuel.
