Did he say which BMW? although my 1200 GS sounds like a bucket of bolts on idle, it is very smooth right through the rev range in any gear.
I had an 2007 BMW 1200gs for a short while at right about 70mph buzz on hands. Increased from there faster you went. Not for me.

Mine is a 2013 with the liquid cooled engine. I also owned a 1994 1100GS. When I sold it it had over 150 000 km and didn’t have any buzzy vibrations. Don’t ride the S1000XR prior to 2019. I know mates who have bought and sold in the first year due to the buzz in the handlebars and foot pegs.
