Doesn't the AFMB do “BMW bashing”?
If we sometimes give a different or contradictory opinion on the assertions of BMW Motorrad, it is always argued and justified. The AFMB is not a communication relay for BMW Motorrad, unlike other organizations directly or indirectly subsidized by the brand, dealers or professionals and equipment manufacturers.
On the contrary, through our information actions we participate in providing – with the help of experts in each field – objective information free from any controversy, which also helps to reduce this “internet effect” who could make believe that “BMW quality is not like before".
Positive action towards the brand that BMW Motorrad never talks about!
By sharing quality information we are making a difference with the false information that is too often found on social networks and forums.
What is important is that our members know what are the real concerns that really exist, that they have the right information thanks to our experts, and that they know how BMW Motorrad guarantees the guarantee or a support. Out of Warranty.
Our only goal is to promote this brand that we love so much.
What is the AFMB's relationship with BMW Motorrad?
As a totally independent association, the AFMB has no dependency relationship with BMW Motorrad.
The purpose of the AFMB is to be a credible interlocutor to represent the interests and expectations of its members, all owners of the brand's motorcycles, vis-à-vis BMW Motorrad.
