    The insanity of BMW pricing for parts

    But why are spark plugs 2x or 3x the cost ? why are oil filters 2x or 3x the cost. why is oil 2x or 3x the cost ? NO manufacturer makes motor oil, plugs or filters. They buy it from the supplier and put it their box and sell it at a premium. also, I don't need my floorboards made out of...

    Iconic Pictures with R18

    Its just so amazing how BMW got the styling of the R18 so perfect in so many ways. The bike has NO bad angles, to my eyes. What is so amazing is what a style and design disaster the BMW R1200C was, and despite that nasty ugly monstrosity, its amazing how the R18 is the opposite of the R1200C...

    The insanity of BMW pricing for parts

    I concur with PistolPeteSTL. This R18 is my first BMW bike, and I am in shock at the pricing of the parts and accessories for the R18. As a past and current owner of Honda's and Harley's, I always observed premium pricing for Harley parts as compared to Honda, but BMW takes it to a whole...

    The insanity of BMW pricing for parts

    I agree totally, this is why an UN-used still brand new complete exhaust system ( not a used "take off") listed for sale makes no sense to me, .....unless it was removed prior to the sale of the brand new bike that it came off of, ....and furthermore, the seller who listed it for sale actually...

    The insanity of BMW pricing for parts

    I never insulted you. Are you sure about your claim related to being triggered ? you seem emotional about this issue. I bought the First Edition package R18 with the Premium package and Select package. The original price is 17,800GBP and I paid 9,300GBP Unlike you, I prefer to pay LESS...

    The insanity of BMW pricing for parts

    The insanity of BMW pricing for parts

    Glad you pointed this out, because I AGREE WITH YOU 100%......, CVO pricing is also absolutely INSANE in the MEMBRANE.. you would never find me defending the insane pricing of a HD CVO....... Why would anyone defend a $10,000 exhaust for a $20,000 bike.

    Alex-B, Please post and highlight ANY comments where I conceded ANYTHING related to the floorboards. Please kindly quote me, I would like to see where I did such, as you say I did. My question to you is.....Why are you defending this insane pricing by BMW ? (Full disclosure, I paid...

    The insanity of BMW pricing for parts

    Lots of defensive comments posted here...... Funny, .....at first, the counter point was that the BMW prices are actually not that far off from Harley. And then after ask anyone to find ANY Harley OEM mufflers that costs $3200, then the defense pivots to ......but the quality is better so...

    The insanity of BMW pricing for parts

    SO I have been a life long Harley owners and currently own 3 Harleys. I always felt that Harley parts were a bit expensive but not anything insane. Then I look at the BMW accessory catalogue and see floor boards that cost $1200....nuts. A Harley equivalent floorboard might be around $350 max...
