Beware

[Greg goes wild]

I went to my dealer today to see about putting in a new head light. They have done it before. But this time
they will ONLY use OEM parts on my 2016 C 650 GT. The high beam is out again 2 nd time that happened in 1 yr.
So probably IF you go to the dealer with parts for your C 650 GT or sport you will have to BUY the OEM parts
cuz the head service guy told me that they had to many problems with other bike parts not being the ones
they needed to do the work. I am not mechanically inclined to do ALL the servicing on my bike when it needs
the 12K service which will cost a arm n a leg from what you all have said.. That was at Wild West Motoplex
in Katy Tx.

If it's only the bulb that needs replacing, I did mine twice now and the second time it took me maybe 10 minutes and the bulb was not more than $15-20. Not sure what they mean by 'OEM' but what you want is a long-life bulb (H7 I believe). They should not charge you more than say $50?

Thet want the original parts for our bikes. I bought the variator belt for $100 bucks n
they said it will have to be a BMW OEM part. That's a $400.00 belt I do not IF they put
the OEM bulb that is a BMW light headlamp in it. But it only lasted 1 yr

See if you can locate another dealer.

What's more is that BMW doesn't make light bulbs, they buy them from other suppliers and an H7 bulb should be no more than $20 even if gold-BMW-plated ...
