So, you bought the bike new in Dec 2020. Is that correct? And, this is the original battery? With a 2-yr warranty?

The dealer's complaint is ........... you wouldn't leave the bike overnight to test the battery in the bike? Seems weak to me.

in such circumstances, my dealer would provide a courtesy bike - are they less generous in lalaland?

In the US not all dealers have loaners you can take home overnight.
The dealers I've done business with since 1984 did not have new loaners.
Two of the dealers let me take used bikes home a few times.

The overnight battery check must be a new procedure.
2017 or 2018 Engles in Kansas City replaced both of our batteries under warranty.
Only took 5 or 10 minutes to do the test.

The Chevy dealer we go to has a high dollar machine they have to use for load tests. It charges the battery before the test start. The test can take a hour or two.

I've never had a battery warranty claim with my dealer, but the service dept has told me I can do better online or at my local battery shop. Yuasa and East Penn (Deka) battery plants are located in southeastern Pennsylvania, so sourcing a BMW labeled Yuasa product from BMW seems illogical.
