So, what are some cool inexpensive mods to do to the ride?
i am looking into the spinning rear wheel bmw hub cap though likewise need to find the black ring outter seal to hide the ugly silver hub nut.
i also would like to find something to put over the rear belt guard protector. Then put some orange reflective tape along that curved strip.
 
The only extras I added was a wind screen, back rest, phone holder and a 12 volt battery cable for heating clothes.

The only needed extra is a new taillight assembly relocated to seat height. Who ever come up with one gonna make some money.

Regards - Mike

Hello there is a Turkish Garage in Istanbul who sell what you are looking for.
Here is a link for a CE04 facebook page of the guy, if I understand you can buy directly from him.
Have a good ride and day...

I’m not sure I’m traveling in Switzerland right now for the summer. They were on Etsy before they came from Romania.. so you might also be able to search BMW CE 04 rear wheel cover Romania it might show up.
Wondering what your experiences with the noise of your machine my machine is fantastic. I have had four BMWs now..
But the heavy electronic sound that comes in and out is really not so nice. I am using some made ear blockers that let some sound in but block out many other sounds which makes riding so much more comfortable without them. I couldn’t ride that machine that just too noisy.. what is your experience would be nice to know.
 
There is a kind of jittery sound at certain speed/throttle settings that is a bit unpleasant, but on the whole I’m very happy with the noise level which compares very favourably with infernal combustion engines. I have long worn earplugs when riding motorcycles and the right ones are very good at blocking the crackling noise made by wind turbulence at speed…

Back to mods, here is a pic of my bike showing the mirrors I bought to replace the original golf club items which really didn’t fit the design aesthetic for me, or give an unconstrained view:

I think they match the wheels, if that’s a thing? BMW certainly didn’t shy away from making a feature of those!

Hi. I have a US model of the CE04. Which model of the spinning wheel hub should I order? ID05 or ID 06? I wasn't sure what the difference is. Also, is the moving version the one that always stays upright while the tire is rotating? It looks like a pretty slick mod to cover up some of the hubcap nuts and add the BMW logo to the wheel.
 
I have done a couple mods. Replaced the clear windscreen with the European orange windscreen (ordered from a German BMW dealership; was ~$30 to ship, but arrived in under a week). Used the Wunderlich rear top case holder for my Vario case rather than the factory one so that the rear case is not positioned over the rear seat (man, what a stupid design that is). Was pricey, but well worth it so that the wife can sit behind me and we still have the storage case on it. Also, the rack bolts right on to the factory mounting holes. The expandable/shrinkable feature of the Vario top case is pretty useful, too, and it has a small backrest cushion for passengers.

Anyone have any speaker mods? I love this bike, but the one major thing I find missing is not having any factory speaker options from BMW. Currently I have a rectangular Bluetooth speaker that squeezes in just perfectly to the space between the seat and the dash. It fits in so well and snugly that it doesn't slide around. The green bungee cables are there for a just in case extra precaution. The main problems are always have to take it off to store it so no one snags it when I'm parked and then taking it back out again, it is not fully waterproof like most Bluetooth speakers, having to take it off to recharge it, and the volume can't be controlled by the bike's left handgrip wheel like for a helmet so I have to use the buttons on top of the speaker for volume controls. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks, all. Appreciate all the help this forum provides.

I have been riding my 2023CE04 for the last four months. It is a great machine and love everything about it.. the bad thing is that sound of grading into your body at lower speed is terrible and I didn’t know what to do about it.
I just found out if I run the machine in rain mode it’s a lot less aggressive and trying to recharge the battery and therefore makes riding experience much more quiet. It still has some of that sound at lower speed but much less.. also I am using DB blockers for the wind in my ears and I found out that if I put Vaseline petroleum jelly which you can buy in a small tube, at the drugstore it seals up the ear blockers much better you can ride in almost complete silence.
