One of the contributors on this forum is a BMW main dealer and confirmed that their understanding is also along the lines that bikes are included. My personal experience is that I have had warranty work performed on my own bike even though I do my own servicing and repair work which I back up with full service records and receipts. However, I don't profess to be an expert in the matter and since I have no interest personally in dealer servicing then I'm not going to pursue or argue the point. There are other types of warranties, the type sold by insurance companies after a manufacturers warranty has expired which can (and usually do) stipulate dealer servicing.
