New one here too, also with an unexpected gift
New one here too, also with an unexpected gift
Picked up my 2010 RT from Edinburgh last weekend and found this in the pannier when I started looking around. Not even sure if it is part of the bike, any clues gratefully received, and before I get a raft of answers it's the item on the left, not the phone on the right.

Many thanks, spent ages looking through the parts list but must have got bored by the time I got to the battery!

Just had a look at Real OEM and can't see anything quite that shape to do with the battery compartment.. Doesn't mean its not though. Maybe its a free gift from Berlin.

Quite pleased with myself, I guessed it just from the photo.
Re: New one here too, also with an unexpected gift
So, that begs the question....what's the battery held down with, or was that just a rogue 'spare' in the pannier courtesy of BMW Edinburgh??

It probably means some other unsusspecting owner has a battery floating around waiting for the cables to break.
Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.

Good possibility a replacement battery of a different size has been installed, by all means if it fits current battery reinstall ASAP

No it was the battery hold down strap which has now been refitted :-) Bike had been sitting at a dealers (non BMW) for a while so I imagine they would have had the battery in for a charge and forgot to refit i before I picked it up.
Thanks for all the help..
