First MoT

Yes, the RT has reached the age when it needs an MoT, so I booked it in at Bahnstormer and they MOT’d it for me.

7,482 miles from new, so around 2,500 per year.

I also took the opportunity to extend the warranty for a year, given that it includes BMW assistance and also given that the RT has developed an intermittent fault with the headlight unit when it goes from very direct light into a tunnel and the automatic lights get in a tizzy.

The fault has at least been logged with BMW because it’s difficult to replicate.

With the RT collected after its initial ‘running-in’ service and with the suspension replaced under warranty, it was time for a ride to check everything out with a bonus test of the super-trick “adaptive headlights” which apparently move from side to side when cornering (like they do on my Abarth 124 Spider).

And yes, they’re good and bright and work well:
