I am in Los Barriles, Baja. Between La Paz and Cabo. I have developed a leak at the banjo bolt, behind the headlight, on the line that goes to the right front brake caliper. I have no front brake, but the reservor is at the propper level. I thought I could use rear brake only, but it eventionally went out also. I have no brakes at all.
Any sugestions/
The BMW Dealer in Baja doesn't have the part and can't get one from Germany for 15 days.

any chance the Baja dealer could contact Southern Cal or Arizona dealers to see if they have the part?
Otherwise, there could be a Corona beer commercial in your near future :) .
Hope you are back on the road soon!

Any US dealer can FedEx the part(s) to you or the dealer in Mexico.

I have a friend who lives in Laz Paz. PM your contact info and I'll see if he can help you out.

I've contacted the dealer in San Diego. The quickest he can get the part is Thur.
I'm due to leave Fri.
