Wyomex :to locate the nearest BMW dealer just log onto bmwmotorrad.com.mx , then go to servicios postventa and then Localizacion de Talleres .Havent got my BMW booklet with me but Acapulco does have a BMW auto dealership some of which also handlebikes. Another option is to visit a magazine seller and sneak a peak in one of the moto-mags like Motociclismo which carry BMW ads which list all the Mexican sales and service locations

We changed oil and tyres at a great little place in Acapulco named MotoMar, which is just off the malecon. Not a BMW dealer but really helpful.
Don´t have the contact details right now but will post again tomorrow.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
