Weak points are the rear shocks and steering head bearings. My Funduros lacked all damping in the rear shocks after 40000 to 50000km.
Handling on technical tracks is way inferior to bikes like KLR650 or DR650SE. I did not like the handling of the F650F on tarmac either but you can buy a lot of agility by dropping the forks in the triple clamps by some 15 to 20mm if you are willing to sacrifice some high speed stability.
The Funduro suffers quite badly when dropped. (Front indicators on the second series Funduro, handlebars and footbrake lever, also plastics & headlight)
If you plan to do mainly tarmac and some good gravel the BMW will probably cope well.
