Same here..
Makes sense. Can’t sell vehicles under recall until they’re repaired. Wonder how long the wait will be for new delivery. And how long current owners wait for swap units to be available. Would love to get this sorted in the cold months and be ready to roll come spring.
Will this apply to used being sold at the dealership also???
I believe it will if it’s an effected unit (which I assume all VINs with the adaptive light will be). They legally can’t deliver it to you until they fix it under the recall. Private sales obviously wouldn’t be impacted, but since this is a dealer (assuming a BMW dealer also - not sure a non-BMW dealer would have to hold it), you’re stuck in limbo for a bit. Good news is you’ll have the work done when it’s handed over to you.
Waiting to hear from the BMW dealer today. Was planning on picking up the 2022 BMW R18B tomorrow
I was about to pull the trigger on my ‘23 just ahead of a weekend trip with the fellas when BMW put a stop sale on all their motorcycles. Was in a lurch for a week or so before I was able to take delivery. I know the frustration with the wait, but this is a sweet ride worth a bit a patience. I hope it all goes in your favor!
Big JimSlim,
Software? Hmm. Wonder if that's going to be the "fix" for the adaptive light rather than replacing currently unbroken units.
That’s what dealer told me yesterday. I have to figure out the next option’
That is what I thought. Unless the bike needs updating because the latest software has not been installed, then that is another matter. I would have thought the headlight issue the adaptive units are facing is to do with components not being able to withstand the vibrations and failing prematurely.
