Overview & Reviews
A regular-wheelbase 760i model has been added to complement the long-wheelbase 760Li -- it features all the power and amenities of the top-line model in a more manageable size. The 745i and 745Li models are freshened with new alloy wheels, and are available with all-season run-flat tires as a no-charge option. All 7 Series models can add adaptive headlights as an option, and Sirius Satellite Radio as a dealer-installed accessory. BMW has made revisions to the iDrive control system to simplify various functions, and the automatic climate control system now has a humidity sensor. Finally, the outside mirrors get a power-fold function this year.
- Superb driving dynamics, highly advanced technology, dizzying array of features, sumptuous furnishings.
- Toys can be distracting from the task at hand, confusing secondary controls, odd styling details.

I love it so far - 2004 BMW 7-Series
By SpiceIsleDoc - February 22 - 2:00 amIt 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.

my toy - 2004 BMW 7-Series
By arzurita - February 18 - 2:00 amI love the car, however I find getting use to the start/stop buttom takes some re-training. The same goes for the gear shift when going to park from drive or rev. Some people say the idrive is a problem. I am not what one would call a computer savvy person(61yrs. old) and have not had any problems working with it. Last week I picked up a friend from out of town after being in the car for 45min. he turn to me and said" this is the best riding car I have ever been in",(he is 59 yrs. old and I am sure he has been in a lot of cars). Needless to say I had a smile bigger then the happy face symbol on my face.

Great car to drive but major problems - 2004 BMW 7-Series
By uncle george - February 3 - 2:00 amBought an 02 with many software failures and engine that was replaced. Then got an 03 which has had transmission problems at 20,000 miles. Software and iDrive have been improved, but are still clumsy to use. You need to allow a lot of time for frequent dealer repairs.

The "quarter to eight" tops all !! - 2004 BMW 7-Series
By CEO Joel - January 21 - 2:00 amBefore I purchased the 745li BMW - I would catch myself staring at it at every dealership, as it cruised by in the freeway, or on bmws website. I saw nothing on the road like it! Everything is is comparable - but when you see the 745 on the road - theres no mistaking it for something else. I could only imagine that all those that stare at my car are thinking the same thing as I ride pass them. The only complaint I have is that no one can keep their eyes off this vehicle.

Bug Alert - 2004 BMW 7-Series
By Bummed BMW Buyer - January 20 - 2:00 amIf you happen to get one which has some sort of bug in the complex computer system which runs the vehicle, you are doomed. I have had the same problems over and over again. Faults in the airbag/restriant system keep occuring. Something is draining on the battery and keeps shutting the car down such that interior lights dont work, the convenience package portion stops working, CDs keep shuffling through the changer and starting at the 1st CD every time, etc. Things have a mind of their own and reset themselves constantly. The bells and whistles dont work half the time. My advice, the vehicle is not worth the money they are charging.

Weve got 2 and love them both - 2004 BMW 7-Series
By AaronRBose - January 18 - 2:00 amWeve got two 745Lis loaded with every available option except the sport package and adaptive ride package. Car is absolutely amazing - definetely worth the $90K each of them were. Absolutely fantastic cars that look and handle great - iDrive is very easy, even for my computer illiterate grandparents. If youre going to spend the $$, this is the car!
