Behind the cupholder the shifting unit is unsealed and liquids spill are causing shifting issues to the shifting control module. Also the Airbag sensor is under the same gap which can cause airbag malfunction. There are numerous reports on forums with all model types 2019+, not limited to the 8 series. This is a design flaw on the new center console shifting seal. This is is a life threatening defect, already a open recall for the wire routing under the shifter for the 8 series, same area.

EVER SINCE I GOT THE MOTORCYCLE DECEMBER OF 2019 I'VE BEEN HEARING THIS SOUND AT THE BACK WHILE I'M RIDING AND I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING AT THE BMW DEALERSHIP THAT I'VE BEEN GOING TO UNFORTUNATELY THEY CAN'T FIND IF WHAT'S THE ISSUE. I REACHED OUT TO THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE THEY DIRECTED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. AND THE NOISE IS BEEN GOING LOUD NOW, I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHER RIDERS WHEN I HIT ANY SMALL POTHOLES EVEN AT AROUND 30-40MPH THE BIKE SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO FALL APART.
