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.

I owned a 1994 BMW740i, and this car has given me some many headaches that i don't recommend anyone to buy it, and even less to buy it from VOB. Save yourselves a lot of aggravation and don't buy a BMW! My complaints were ignored repeatedly by VOB and by BMW of America.

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.

Technology Falls Short

The voice activation doesn't work well and the electronics seem to need constant updating as the phone and navigation system don't always work properly. The steering has a vibration in the steering wheel until the low profile tires warm up, which takes about 8-10 miles of driving before this goes away. This is not what you should expect in a $70,000+ automobile.

745i - NO Fun

Excellent handling capability BUT Not fun to drive. Try down shifting with the steering wheel button and then figuring out what gear you are in while watching the road at the same time. Every service is a multi-day ordeal and there have been too many. Uneccesary complexity, the radio is basically non-functional outside of the pre-selected stations.A real problem if you are routinely in different reception areas.
