My shaft was replaced in February 2024 along with a full software update and rear foot peg clips. This was all done as a warranty recall so FOC.

I have had a real battle with the BMW dealer in Exeter. Insisted it had to have full BMW service history, even for the 5 years post warranty. I suggested this was not true so they said I had to submit the independent garage service records and they would then contact BMW UK to get approval. Anyone else come across this resistance?

No, my 2018 hasn’t had a dealer service in the last 4 years, but I still received a letter from BMW to get the shaft checked along with the footrests and ECU update FOC.
