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.
