Had mine replaced yesterday, under warranty (my warranty ends at the end of october).
Touch-up paint isn't available from BMW, although it is listed in the Real OEM-parts list.
I ordered a touch-up paintstick (orange 836, but even that doesn't seem to be available).
The problem is that BMW, due to environmental regulation, can't keep paint in stock.

I bought my bike from Harry Meyer, Badhoevedorp as a "Homeselection occasion" (oftewel Huisselectie occasion), so it came with an additional two-year full factory warranty. (Already had my ABS-pump replaced under warranty)

Thanks Boxerpunk. My bike is being serviced annually by Harry Meijer as well. But I bought it second hand and didn't pay attention at that time (Oct 2005). Anyways, I'll ask for a quote to have it fixed...

Don't you love driving a BMW when it comes down to list prices?!?

Just my 1p

I did the forks on my K with Satin Hammerite which gave a really good finish and lasted. Havn't done the rock yet but they are beginning to go

Yeh I'm thinking about a satin finish also; Did you do the fork brace too, at the same time?
