I appreciate your lack of welding equipment and knowledge of but I believe that a nut fitted over the stud and welded on the inside is the way to do it.

Have the studs sheared off flush with the head or is there any stud left to which a nut could be welded on.

The current BMW recommended viscosity range is 15W-50. The Rider's Manual gives 5 different ranges, none of which are 15W-50.

It's also semi-synthetic when fully synthetic maintains its' viscosity better at higher temperatures.

IMO, below the 3rd tick (3/4) doesn't sound abnormal. Looking at the BMW Rider's Manual, there are no other warnings linked to the oil temperature. If this was deemed by BMW to be critical, like oil pressure and/or level, perhaps additional warning might have been provided. What is the engine oil vi...

The comparison between Tesco & BP (both E5) fuel over the same 100 miles with the cruise control set at 70 MPH.

IMO, the likes of Shell V-Power and BP Ultimate give better mpg than supermarket fuels.

BMW recommends BP fuels.

This video shows where the optional extras socket is on a Camhead, it's likely to be the same on a Hexhead.

This is the BMW service schedule for a Camhead, it'll be similar if not the same for a Hexhead.

This thread might be helpful, have a look at the link to BMWSportTouring, see photos.
