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...
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...
Floor boards are only $175 when purchased with the bike and not as an aftermarket item......haha
another BMW pricing scheme
I will have to go to my local dealer and order these instead .... " as replacements for the "original" ones that were "stolen"(total lie) off my bike"
I hope BMW does...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Muffler, Left: 18519467673 $1630.00
Muffler, Right: 18519467674 $1630.00
To those who say the BMW parts prices are not that far from Harley.......please find me ANY Harley OEM slip on mufflers ( Screamin Eagle ) that are $3,200 for the pair.
I will be waiting here for a reply.
Still waiting
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...
Thanks for the lead..... any idea of the total cost of that BMW OEM fender ? also does it arrive painted black ? I understand the pin striping would have to be done separately .
