I've just picked one up - 2010, Lava Orange, 28k miles, ABS/ASC/ESA, heated grips, helibars, BMW rack and expandable panniers. Bought it online at a distance from a dealer so I've not actually seen it yet, should arrive next week. Dealer photos only at the moment:-

- Centre stand (BMW OEM one)
- Clear indicators and lenses
- Carbon parts (can't beat a smattering of carbon bits!!)
- Single sided swing arm paddock stand
