My wife's VW Beetle was a pos, but VW pretty much covered everything during our 5 year ownership, much of it out of warranty. We started off aggressively, demanding that they take the car back under the Lemon Law. Naturally, they declined and we chose not to pursue it, but I think it did us some good in that we never paid for a repair.

BMW Mottorad has much bigger fish to fry than odometer defects. You know what I'm talking about - clutch spline failures and final drive failures. There are a few others such as wiring harness fires due to the grip warmers shorting. BMW has absolutely refused to acknowledge that there is a defect at all in their design or problems in the assembly. They have, however, quietly honored many repairs out of warranty as long as you have a documented history, If your service history is up to par, it's with a BMW dealer, and you are the original owner. Just don't let them get wind of the "I wrecked my bike today" thread.
