Major Fuel Tank Leak while riding and defects

I bought a second hand BMW K1200R 2008 that had only 1500km in September 2011 from Lyndhurst BMW. When I got the motorcycle it was as new. Since I had the motorcycle is such a short space of time, the left hand side mirror blew off while I was riding, then the fuel tank suddenly got minor cracks causing fuel to leak so badly at high pressure onto the hot exhaust manifold almost causing the bike to burn out while I was out riding, leaving me stranded in a bad spot next to the road. Prior to this my left and right side mirrors blew off. I consider these defective items to be serious and dangerous manufacturing defects. Surely bikes that have these defects should be recalled as this could easily have cost me my life. BMW refuses to acknowledge the defect and refuses to repair my fuel tank. I thought that buying a BMW would mean that I would get a reliable bike. This is really not the case.
