A friend in Boerne, TX was a BMW devotee for many years and had very good service from the early air head models. He swore off buying another after getting his first oil head. Problems that were costly to repair and which BMW would take no responsibility for drove him away from the brand forever. I'm not bashing BMW for they do make some great bikes. The R1200GS I rented in the Hill Country a few years ago was a very impressive ride and I came close to buying one.
