Anyone received production number?
I ordered one as well. When I was going through with it, the guy told me it would be June. I told him I'll hope for earlier and see what happens. The dealer emailed me a VIN last week. Not sure what that means, but I hope it means sooner than later.
I'm after the M non competition version, but would like to get a sense how long it typically takes since dealer allocation to when the bikes actually arrive at dealerships?Dealers received their first bike allocation in US Friday last week. They are competition package bikes without the titanium headers/mid pipes. $27k msrp. Pretty much perfect. Awaiting more drips in next few weeks.
I hope not. To be honest I’m ok buying one of the bikes from the press intro.6-8 weeks. You might be waiting until well into summer for a non comp version though I’m just speculating.
If you have a VIN you can call BMW customer services and track the status of your order. I find that the dealers in most cases are not up to date with delivery schedule.I was told that my bike won't be here till end of June. Kind of let down by that, since I was given the VIN at the end of Jan. That gives them almost 5 months to build my bike. I will remain hopeful that I may get it sooner than that, but since I don't understand the process its just pure hope..![]()
Just talked with BMW customer support. Seems like BMW doesn’t know where the vessel is. It was supposed to arrive to US on April 11th, but didn’t arrive yet and there is no ETA.Mine is on a boat somewhere. Not too much longer for me hopefully.

Put 175 miles so far and going again Thursday for same. I plan to give the bike to BMW at 525miles exactly in the middle of the break in window of 300-750 miles. A change from the initial 1,000cc shiftcam engines which when it came out on the K67 had a window of 400-650 miles. Interestingly middle is still the same I remember giving them my 2020 RR at 525 miles as well.
So far I’m very impressed with bike. Seems more comfortable than the 2022 Tuono Factory i just sold. The electronic and interface is nothing new since I had a K67 until 18 months ago. The look is very awesome. Lots of head turning on this one!!! And now I can customize race modes which wasn’t possible on the K67.
It’s not that quiet anymore with the full exhaust but it’s not loud enough to be a bother when on freeway. Good old bmw 4L engine noise I missed dearly! Bike is very nimble and even with the absence of bubble in front (I don’t count that carbon fiber piece as such as it doesn’t even go over the dash) the air flow is nice and not much a bother under 100mph. With limiter at 9k rpm, the top speed is currently exactly 120mph.
On the negative side…. Bluetooth is still very very temperamental and just plainly annoying. Better since I moved to an iPhone since my K67 but connection to helmet and/or headset is atrocious. The fueling restrictions are the worst I have ever seen on any bike ever. And because it’s different in each gear you not only have to learn how the fueling gets cut off or not at any rpm but you have to learn it 6 times and check which gear you are in if you happen to have learnt it. Since that’s not possible in 175 miles it’s just the lottery. You have no idea when you twist the throttle if the bike is going to pick up or barely change speed. Can’t wait to uncork this bike as it’s flat out silly and I would argue rather dangerous.
The built quality is also questionable and nowhere near the older generation, aka K46 and the likes. The fairings are held with flimsy thin metal staples and the bottom piece is held on with a notch in the plastic that is thin enough it begs to break. The bike came in with coolant just at the minimum which I found rather perplexing also.
Overall I can’t wait for Thursday and getting another 175 miles on the bike. But what I’m dying for really is after break in and a tune so I can finally own the M1000R!
Which map are you using? I ordered the torque optimized map and hope this map will provide more consistent fueling down low.View attachment 226692

A friend has 2022 RR with TOM and likes it. Obviously he never experienced BT tune so has no reference point besides his GS1250 bike (which had buckets of torque).I got the bike without the special map. You are possibly correct that it might solve a bit of the restrictions down low. I doubt it solves the problem at once though. This whole circus is mainly due to sound and CO2 emissions and don’t see why the TOM version would get a pass on that. Furthermore you end up with at least 20bhp missing in the top end at which point why not order an S1000R you’d end up with more power with a tune (catch 22 but you need one not matter what…. 🤪🤪) and holes burning in your pocket with all the cash you saved….
I’ll be curious to see your impression of your TOM bike once you get it.
I ordered the non comp version as well. The roads here in Northern California are getting worst and are very hard on wheels especially carbon ones.Got the call this evening, my M1R is ready for delivery!! I'll be picking it up when the dealer doors are unlocked. I've seen lots of pics and videos and feel like I'm the only person on earth who ordered the non competition model....
