  745i, car of the future - 2002 BMW 7-Series
  By former mbz - October 2 - 2:00 am

  I was concerned about getting this car due to 745 forums that spoke of very poor reliability problems. These seemed to be with the early build problems(Dec- April 2002). I waited and got an August 2002 build date. So far the car has been flawless. I love the interior room, comfortable seats, and overall richness of the car. The cars performance and handling is outstanding!

  Best bang for buck - 2002 BMW 7-Series
  By Charlotte 745i - September 11 - 2:00 am

  Test drove S-420, QX-4, LS-430 and nothing comes close in style, performance, interior finish and comfort. 745 was recalled for computer and fuel pump issues, but we were given a 745 loaner. No complaints. This car is simply the most athletic car Ive ever owned. Power and refinement, what more could you want?

  Released with bugs - 2002 BMW 7-Series
  By fisheater80 - September 10 - 2:00 am

  Awsome handling and an absolute road machine for highway or country roads. But way too many bugs for the BMW flagship. Should have waited to release. Intermittent window, radio, trunk release, phone keypad problems. I- drive reprogramming better, but still has bugs. Hesitation at stoplights is the most maddening thing.

  iDrive Failure - 2002 BMW 7-Series
  By I.M. Frustrated - September 9 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this car for 97 days. Unfortunately for me, it has been in the shop 55 days and counting. The iDrive system locks up frequently and when it does you lose the radio, phone and navigation systems. I might understand it if this was a buget priced Daewoo or Kia, needless to say, it is not what I expect from a car that costs $80K. As many other people have noted in the consumer reports, the dealerships are worthless at solving the problems. The one Im working with in Buena Park, CA, is no different. BMW does not understand Customer Service.

  Should have waited one year more - 2002 BMW 7-Series
  By GD - September 6 - 2:00 am

  Just took delivery on 8-1-02, since then the car has spent 90% of its life being service for all sort of problems. Battery keep discharging by itself overnight, need to boost the car every morning. Dealer has no clue what the problem is or how to fix.This is my 4th 740iL. In all fairness the dealer has been very helpfull providing another 745 as a loaner car. Guest what, the new replacement 745 has as many problems as my own car. BMW needs to train dealer on how to service the car. They should have waited another year before introducing this car.

  Wait before you buy - 2002 BMW 7-Series
  By The Boss - August 29 - 2:00 am

  I bought my 745i back in May and wrote a great review about the car...then the problems. I have a terrible problem with the software in the NAV system and the dealer does not have a clue on how to fix it. My car has been in the shop three times and still is not repaired. If you like the car I suggest you wait another year for BMW to work out the bugs. I cant wait to get rid of mine.

  Never again! - 2002 BMW 7-Series
  By Bjncfo - August 29 - 2:00 am

  2nd BMW Ive owned and this will be the last. All of the great features of this car are offset by the endless number of bugs. Software problems, transmission problems, etc. Who wants to drive a car with the radio on when it skips through the preset stations constantly? Car has been in to the dealer four times. Latest visit is now for more than a week. Back to Lexus for me!
