Did you have to buy them from your BMW Dealer, anyone phoned around for a better price please?

All comments (from owners) valued - quite torn about these having had the old black hard bags on my previous BMW. Big money though eh? Is £528 total the real price please?


...you can find the complete set on e-bay...

...together 685 Euro (without shipping) = 526.50 Pounds...
...so 528 Pounds could be the real price...


...BTW funny...
...I made the same pictures of this black bike at the Intermot... :)

I've just been quoted £508.00 fitted!!! -
I'm in a quandery though - I ride a yellow R1200S and I think they look naff on the bike - they look more acceptable on a black bike, I think?
Has anyone painted them?

Hi Jonathan,
I would say £508 fitted is a fair price. My bike is Yellow and I think that the Black/Grey panniers are fine, Would not even like to consider painting them. PM me if you want to have a ride over and see how they look--Less than an hour's ride for you.

Regards Peter.

I've got mine on a yellow bike and think they compliment the bike really well.

That price sounds £100 less than I was quoted fitted - snap there hands off at that price. I suspect they have missed a part or two of the quote...or maybe the VAT!

Got an 1100 with BMW panniers. Whats the difference in capacity between the old style panniers and the newer expandable type. I must say it's a point that would put me off getting a 1200 if the luggage capacity wasn't great. At the end of the day it's part of what makes boxers such a useable bike - have you ever seen any Japanese sports bike or sports tourer for that matter with the panniers removed - bloody ugly, all that frame work. BMW seem to manage it unobtrusively and it's a big plus point for me.

Without filling them with pingpong balls - I reckon in unexpanded form - they might be like 1100s panniers with citylids fitted.

Wouldn't expect them expanded - to be the same size as system cases with the normal lids, though :?

Have to admit - they do look okay on the bike :wink:

Al :D
If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........

See if that works .....
