I'm not one who is easily impressed with automobiles priced below $100K. My new BMW 745Li, however, is different. I've owned it for 2 months now, purchased as a CPO. Not thinking much of the exterior styling when it first debuted in 2002, I've grown to LOVE the way the 7-series looks. The 745Li stands out from the crowd. The new 2006 750 design has a more generic, less aggressive look (front end). Thus, I had to search for a CPO. I look forward to driving the car because I almost feel unworthy of the luxury it possesses. Quite, smooth ride and hits 100 mph with ease and composure. Logic 7 stereo is great! The iDrive is not bad at all, although the improved '06 version is better.

We have been blessed to have had several luxury cars. I have made modifications to every car that we have owned. Some of which have been displayed in magazines and or trade shows. (SEMA) Out of all of the cars that we have enjoyed the most the 745i has been our favorite car as of yet. I have three boys twins that are 13 and a nine year old. I wanted them to be in a vehicle that is safe and reliable in case of a crash. This car fits the bill. We are a realitivly young family so I didnt want something that was challenging to fix up. So again this was an easy choice. 22" wheels H&R springs Borla exhaust. This car is "Cold Mobbin" Not too DUB'd out.

This is the ultimate driving machine. The idrive is fun and despite other reviews, user friendly. The ride is exhilerating and offers handling surpassing other cars in its class. I found the seating adjustments a little difficult to comfort my 6' plus frame when compared to the A8. The premiun sound system is great and easy to control.

This is my 4th BMW. It is not perfect, but as close to perfect yet. Drives and handles like a dream, I drive is complicated at first but once you are used to it, it is intuitive.

I miss my 2001 740

I miss the gear shift. I miss the easy controls. I miss the aggressive style. The 745iL is engineered well, handles great and is comfortable. Unfortunately I don't feel connnected. The trunk looks like I'm transporting a coffin. I'm a computer guy and the iDrive especially the NAV is annoying. The phone hears me...sometimes. The say it a software problem. Unfortunately it's hard to reboot on the freeway at 65. Unless things change, this is my last one. PS I love renting a car when I bring it in for service. At 80K I probably don't deserve one !
