Anyone think their sidestand is too long, leaving the bike perilously upright? I lowered a dirt bike years ago by mounting 17-inch rims (before you could buy a supermoto), and that made the sidestand way too tall and the bike way too tippy. This bike kinda reminds me of that (before I cut down the stand). Anyone else feel a little nervous in all but the perfect parking spot? I do have a center stand, but would still like to trust the sidestand a bit more. Thanks.

I agree, side stand feels too long. Can't imagine BMW shortening it though.. I guess just have to be mindful of it or put it on the centre stand where possible.

For those concerned, perhaps leave it in gear too if not already doing so? But, fwiw; I've even had my bike on a ferry and it stayed upright on a 40minute crossing of a bay.. The only time I am concerned is if parking on an incline/decline, I then leave it in gear too.
