Paddock Stands
BMW do like to charge for their accessories. For just a little bit more money you could have had front and rear paddock stands from Harris for that price! That said it does look nice though.

Got my Gen 4 M Sport delivered a week last Friday, which I ordered in Nov 18
I've not ridden it yet but I've got a few goodies to bolt on first and I'm a fair weather rider so quite happy waiting for things to get warmer.
Anyway I was in the garage last Friday and because of what I've read on here I thought I would check the brake calipers.......
dripping with brake fluid underneath....not happy at all
Rung the dealers on Saturday and they said the serial number of my bike shouldn't have leaking calipers so I assured them it did, they were most apologetic and said they'd collect it but their van was off the road so I took it back myself.
Just had a call from them and the brake calipers are on back order and should be in by the end of March...... "hopefully".
My last 4 bikes have been BMW's (this is my 5th) but now I'm beginning to loose faith in the brand

Had problems with mine Saturday on first start up engine management light came straight on, rode to bmw they hooked it up to the computer and said it?s the exhaust valve ?they said I must of done something to it when I fitted the M rearsets!! Not a chance I touch it? so they adjusted it and reset the ecu, went for another ride stopped to talk to a mate then switched it back on management light back on again rode back to bmw where my bike still is now for them to sort the problem I also pointed out that my front suspension was leaking oil from the seals this shouldn?t be happening to a brand new bike with less then 50 miles on the clock most of that going back to bmw, on the plus side I got an slip on exhaust out of them for my ?500
The forks aren't leaking oil - it's grease melting when they get warm.
Hopefully it is as the first thing bmw said was its water. Definitely not water.

new bike day tomorrow. 
On the battery optimiser, did you double check with BMW mate if that was suitable for lithium batteries?
Because I have a feeling the one you have posted above is suitable for previous Gen S1000RR?s but not the Gen 4?s that have lithium batteries. I went with the ?Optimate Lithium? and it?s been working a treat since I got the bike.
new bike day tomorrow.
Nice !! Maybe see u there... bring ur waterproofs lol
