2013 BMW R1200RT Anniversary Edition?
Couldn't help but notice your post on finding the engine number on a 2013 BMW R1200RT. I've been watching all over the place for a 2013 Anniversary Edition RT myself. Just by chance I'm wondering if you may have purchased the one in the area of Grand Rapids, MI?
I've recently agreed to purchased one out of state (In PA). I'm just about to begin the work of titling as well as transporting it home. I just thought it would be a coincidence to have such similar situations going on at about the same time.
Best of luck to you with your new RT. I hope you love it.

New 2013 Anniversary Edition
I had a 2005 for many years and loved it. bought a 2015 GSA to do some extreme rides, then sold it and bought a 2013 with only 7K miles on it in November. It looks like it has never been ridden in the rain (it was from CA). Love it, but, it is different from the '05.
I'll try to share my experiences with you on this thread.

Anyone have issues with the BlueTooth system? I've gone to Bose noise canceling ear plugs and given up on BT.
Also, Somewhere there are pictures of spark plugs in which the lower plugs are black and the upper plugs are light brown (perfect in my understanding of what they should look like). Any progress of you trying to change the black to light brown by using plugs of different heat ranges?

Ear Plugs
Are the Bose ear plugs stereo earplugs supplying music? If so, the best way to take advantage of the stereo system on a later model RT is to use the rear speaker connector. You can purchase the adaptor from BMW that hooks into the rear speaker connector and wire in to 3.5mm female. You then locate the fador control and run up the rear speakers to max canceling out the front speakers and you're hard wired into the stereo system through the female 3.5mm stereo plug.

I agree with both of the previous comments. I'm doing my first service after buying my 2013 late last year, with only 7K miles on it this coming Tuesday. New plugs are or the menu. My meanderings discovered the thread detaining the wiring mod to the sound system and it is great. Much better than the BT. And, yes, the plugs are stereo, noise canceling plugs. They take away most of the wind noise and all of the exhaust noise. With the OEM radio I can choose AM/FM, MP3, or Sirius/XM.
What are your experiences with engine oil and reduced consumption as the engine wear-in on these cam-heads? And, on valve adjustments?

What oil? Some burn off more than others.. And 6,000 miles is about my change interval so it would never get topped off.

i should be out riding!
my weekly commute is about 400 miles at about the same rpm....i use Mobil 1, 15w50 and burn nearly zero (ok, cant really measure the loss) oil....i am at nearly 80,000miles in 45 months...
funny how this engine serial number thread turned into an oil thread....go figure...LOL
