I too have a '99 S. I have read all the issues that you have read. When I voiced concern to a local, trusted, BMW mechanic about the spline failures he looked at me funny and said " not on a 1100". I told him about the postings and he said "ride the bike and quit reading the forums". That is what I intend to do. I love my S to much to let her go. I've had those rock solid, no maintenance Jap bikes and although they have few maintenance issues, they also have no sole. The S has sole or what ever it is that makes it special.
If you listened to the world out there, you wouldn't ride a motorcycle because you could get hurt, but you choose to ride because it is unlike anything else you will ever do. It feeds your sole. Keep the S because it is unlike anything else you will ever have. It truly has sole.
