WHAT A CAR
I PICKED UP MY 745I ON A SATURDAY THE SALES PERSON WENT OVER THE BASIC FEATURES OF THE CAR WITH ME THEM LET ME GO AND DRIVE THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME TO COME BACK AND SPEAK WITH HIM ON THURSDAY, OR THEY HAVE A BMW MASTER TECHNICIAN AVAILABLE THREE NIGHTS A WEEK TO GO OVER ANYTHING IN MORE DEPTH, HE WAS VERY HANDY WITH EXPLAINING THE NAV. AND PHONE WITH THE CAR. I LOVE THE CAR THE WHOLE FEEL OF IT HAS A CERTAIN PRESENCE, AND THE EVERYONE STOPS TO LOOK AT IT. I GOT THE LUXURY SEAT PKG, PREMIUM SOUND AND REAR SUNSHADES
They need to work out the bugs
I had the car for two days, and then the problems started. i would list them if I didn't have to be under 700 chacters. Apparently there are many software bugs that need to be fixed. Of course the dealership doesn't tell you until after you purchase the car. I have been told that my problems have been already documentented, and BMW is aware of them. However they are not fixed. It's been at the dealership over a week now. The mechanics don't even know how to fix it, and must rely on BMW NA to help them.

unbelievable
The best automobile I have ever owned.Much better handling than either my previous M-B or Lexus.Much quicker than both and quieter than the M-B.New, hi-tech controls are wonderful.
First-Timer's BMW
Initial bugs in software (switching from miles to metric, arming microphone, etc.) Also, early problem in seat-belt restraint. None of these fixed yet, because I haven't had time to return to dealer.
Jury is out
Buying this car is an act of faith that BMW is on the right track. The iDrive gets easier with time, but there is no excuse for the difficulty involved in using and setting the radio (clearly no person who was ever the driver of a car thought this up). I had the "disappearing radio settings" problem that has, for unknown reasons, corrected itself after six days. Car is attention getter - it is much nicer looking in person than it is in pictures, and the extra length of the Li makes it look less stubby in the rear end. By the way, it is much wider than the prior 740, need to watch mirrors.
