The motorcylce mirrors did not hold position after less than two months of riding, especially in warmer temperatures. The dealer replaced the mirrors at n/c and indicated they would have to order in a bunch more because they expected to see more of the same. The mirror ball-joint and black plastic housing do not hold up to continuous vibration after heating up in the sun. I expect my replacement mirrors will fail within a matter of weeks, depending on summer heat. I sent an email to bmw and got a boiler-plate response to go through the dealer. This is a serious safety issue and design flaw. Any vehicle, but especially a motorcycle, with malfunctioning visual systems is a tragedy waiting to happen.
