Review
My first BMW 745. My previous car was a volvo S80
and I can't even compare them. The German
engineering is astounding. Road handling and
performance is at its best when you're driving this
car. Yepp I'm a techy geek and love the
computerized interior. The car basically purrrsss
and I sometime can't even tell if it's running. Every
part of this car comfortable from the look, feel, and
use. I'm hoping my car could the new 645ci. If not,
I'm definitely getting another 745 at a minimum.

I extensively tested and researched the
Mercedes S500, Audi A8, the Lexus LS430
and the BMW 745LI. This car clearly
surpasses them all. Forget about what
they say that the command control is
confusing. I'm no technophile, but I
mastered it in less than 10 minutes.
This car comes with dozensmore features
than the Mercedes and is less money.
The Lexus is nice, but it is not a
beast on wheels like the BMW. I use to
teach Police Officers High Speed
Pursuit driving so I know performance
when I drive it. This car is simply the
best. It combines the best of
everything, luxury and high performance
into one cool package.

I've owned 1998 and a 1999 740il, an x5
SUV, and this 745IL exceeds all in
comfort, performance and luxury. It is
a fine driving machine. The i-drive is
a little difficult to get used to but
it provides all data and settings
required. If this were a hotel it'd be
rated 5 star..

This is my 4th BMW and by far the best.
I also own MB E class but I like the
745i better. The computer display could
be improved to a more logical layout.
It has too many things all over the
place and could be organized in a more
meaningful way. The parking distance
and navigation system did not appeal to
me that much. The performance and the
head turning factor is tremendous.

I was hesitant to trade my 2001 740iL
for the newer model (E65) after
reading about all the issues with the
2002 and 2003 model years. The
leasing incentives were just to good
to pass up so I made the move. In a
word, I'm thrilled. This car is more
nimble, quicker, handles better,
brakes better, and rides better than
my 2001. I'm still not crazy about
the styling, but I'm willing to live
with it to get all the other
improvements. My 2001 was in the shop
5 or 7 times in the first 6 months for
minor issues. I've had this car for 2
months with zero issues and I'm really
picky. I think they have the issues
resolved for the 2004s...joe

I purchased a 2004 silver metallic 745i
with a phone that won't activate. The
dealer give me a new one and it works
now. Stereo is great but don't have XM.
Haven't tried Sirius yet. Seats are
very comfortable and am finally getting
used to all the controls. I like this
car.

Review
When my lease on my Mercedes S430
expired I wasn't sure on whether or not
to get another one. I drove the 745Li
and fell in love. It handles like a
dream and extremely powerful. But I
cannot compare the comfort to anything
I have ever sat in before. I got the
comfort seating package and I almost
want to sleep in this car.

Horrible experience. Salesperson did
not know her product. Car did not live
up to my expectations, check engine
light eternally on, engine misses at
25-35 mph. Service only temporarily
fixes problem then comes back within
days. BMW should be ashamed. Should
have bought a Lexus like all my
associates did.

After driving all the contenders,
including the Jag XJ, Audi A8, LS430
and of course the Merc S, nothing
makes as strong a statement as this
one. Unbeatable drive and handling,
smooth, beautiful, kicks the hell out
of anything in its league. Only
qualms are there are still some
electronic glitches
