2005 Boxercup question

Kinhellfire · Post by **Kinhellfire** » Thu Oct 04, 2012 6:35 pm

Hi guys

I am presently negotiating to buy my very first BMW. A 2005 Boxercup replica with 22000 miles on the clock. The bike has a decent history and has been really well cared for but I just wondered if there will be anything major required at the 24000 mile service?
Somebody mentioned that there is a fuel filter in the tank that needed changed at around this mileage which is quite a big job.

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

Graham

It's not really a big job, just fiddly and a pain in the arse. BMW in their infinite wisdom decided that the hole for the plate that the fuel pump is attached to needed to be just a little bit too small so you have to keep jiggling it and spinning it round to get it out.

Shouldn't be too expensive but after doing the fuel filter once I think I'd rather pay someone else to do it next time.

just a quick tip,if you go for the bmw service ask first if they will knock any off if you take the belly pan,rocker covers,and panels off before hand,clarks in brum said they would.cuts the labour time down.not much but it helps.
