I think the engine is a bit too new to draw too many conclusions. Even if a handful of people like us put big miles, it's too small a sample size, sad reality is most BMW riders outside of our circles hardly ride a few thousand miles a year, jump over to the used bike listings on some dealer sites, 3-5 year old bikes with less than 10k miles, 10 year old bikes with less than 40k miles. I'd wait another year or buy the extended warranty....or both.
