This Year's Model Updates:

The big news for 2003 is the late-fall arrival of the 760Li, which combines all the greatness of the 745 while adding a 6.0-liter V12. BMW has not released U.S. output ratings, but European specs have it at 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. The more interesting aspect of the 760Li is that it's the first BMW with direct gasoline injection, which, in combination with the Valvetronic technology already used in the 745 models, allows for stellar performance, and according to BMW, "outstanding fuel economy." We'll wait and see on that one. In other news, all models get rear head-protection airbags, and Active Cruise Control finally makes it to the options list, along with run-flat tires. The Rear Comfort Seat package for the 745Li now includes rear-seat ventilation.

Pros:
  • Superb driving dynamics, highly advanced technology, dizzying array of features, sumptuous furnishings.
Cons:
  • Toys can be distracting from the task at hand, confusing secondary controls, odd styling details.

    Ive yet to find ANYTHING I dont think is wonderful about the car. The engine is smooth as silk and has gobs of power and torque throughout the rev range. Interior is plush and ride just short of cushy, givng a nod to the performance aspect of the car. The thing most knocked about the vehicle, I-Drive, just isnt that hard to pick up, especially if you use the voice activation stuff on frequently used business (going from AM to FM radio, etc.), but it does require a good 15 minutes of looking at the manual to absorb all its capabilities. All in all - a wonderfully grand carriage with all the pep and handling of most sport coupes.

    Fisrt its eye catching, the acceleration of this vehicle is great, but you will love when you are making shrp turns, you stay in youe seat at a 60 miles sharp turn, it will give you this type of reliabilty under any conditions. The inside is owesome and is fun to drive, people are always looking at your car, it gets noticied.

    After dealing with numerous electrical problems, I traded in my Mercedes E500 for a 745li and have been very pleased with the car. The 745 has effortless power and is as agile as a cat. I love the idrive system. It took me all of five minutes to figure it out. People who cannot figure it out should probably drive a Saturn.

    BMW is now in the software business. The iDrive is not ready for consumer use. Constant problems. Have had car in monthly for bug fixes. They are not being truthful to the buyer.

    I have never owned a BMW and this car is wonderful. Before i was going to buy a MB S430 but the dealer wasnt giving us any rebates. Then we went to see the BMW and we bought it immediately. The car is great to drive and the I-drive is easy after a while. Anyways, you dont use it that much since the the AC and Radio buttons are on the console and thats what you use more. Never had a car with navigation beleive it or not, it and its a big jump from nothing. The car does have a weird style especially in the outside and you get use to it and love it after a while. Also its an eye-catcher.
