Car is fun to drive, powerful and comfortable. The performance is outstanding with great power, braking, and safety features. The luxury features are fun and convenient, especially if you have to commute to work every day. It's nice to be able to make calls, flip through satellite radio, or relax in quiet.
I drive is not so bad

It's a great driving full size cars, it performs better than my wife's smaller Lexus which gets me sea sick from its rocking ride, we both love the bimmer and are looking to get rid of the 6 month old Lexus. The A 8 might be a contender to replace the Lexus or the another 745i and i drive only took a few days to get used to and now it simple and makes it simple because we only need to locate one button while driving.

It may be too early to comment, however I recently purchased this BMW, my first. Previously I was a Lexus man, and in my household we currently own 3 Lexus cars. I say all this to say that I like this car. It is more of a fun driving vehicle than any of my other cars. I feel more confident at high speeds and maneuvers. I have seen complaints about the Idrive. I have had no problems. Of course like anything new one needs to become aquatinted with new concepts, but it was not difficult and I enjoy what it allows me to do.
I felt like buying this car was a mistake

I bought my 745i after another car hit my previous vehicle. I was looking for something reliable, new and sporty and after test driving the 745i I had never drove in anything smoother even though it was an older model (2004). The car started off great despite a parking light but I expected minor issues since it had 165k+ miles. About another month later is when it all went down hill. Rain leaked into the fuse box and it wouldn’t let me turn my car on for several days until it dried. I then had a huge radiator hose leak also damaging the water pump pulley and developed a small oil leak. At this point I was tired of taking it to the mechanic and then my seal belts had a fault which my mechanic said was going off for no reason and after they turned the lights off, it continued to come back on. Despite all this, I was still driving it because over everything, it was still a really smooth ride and loved driving it. About 5 months on (175k miles) my transmission started to go out. At first I received faults which would go away and then at times I either couldn’t shift to drive or reverse. I’m here now with almost 180k miles getting a new car because fixing this just isn’t worth it anymore and I just need something more reliable. I bought it for $6k and If I hadn’t had any major problems I’d love it but I’ve had Problems with this vehicle from the start. Overall I wouldn’t recommend getting a 7 series unless you have a few extra thousand dollars to shell out for repairs.

What a dream car!, Looks, handling, great quality are typical of this and my previous 3 BMWs. After being inundated by all the new procedures from the starting to operating the vehicles too numerous features, I longed for the old simple Brake and gas models. But as I began to read and reread and reread I have begun to understand and use the (too many) features (most of which a normal person would never use or need needless to say understand). But from the solid door closing to the massaging seats to the sound system and the road holding traction it's a BMW. Brilliantly Manufactured Wonder. Yes! I do like my BMW.
