Just picked up 05' 745 Li. Titanium Grey w/black inside. I love this car. It is SOOOO much better than the Bentley. (for $200K less) But I don't like the I-drive. ( short for *I-fucking-hate-trying-to-do-this-while-I-drive*) It is easy to figure out but annoying when you just want to change the radio station and you have to go through a whole process. Anyone else feel my pain? :banghead:

Shouldve gone for the 760 you ballette!

I-drive is such a POS system. Like you said, just to do the most minute adjustements, you gotta be some nuclear engineer.

I do love the parking sensor sonar thing on the screen, its increble!

Give a week or two with the iDrive. Once you get the hang of it, it's not a big deal at all.

After a week of driving cars with iDrive I was able to navigate through all the menus and settings without even looking at the screen.

Oh, and...

Yeah...I feel your pain. I don't like the I-drive in my car either. And yes, my car is so much better than the Bentley.

AWWWW. Chunky I'm not complaining! I am just slightly annoyed with the i-drive shit. I WOULD have gotten the 760 but I heard the car has alot of problems. And BTW - we still have the Bentley. Our lawyer is trying to get us out of the car because so far we have had so luck trying to do it ourselves. I heard a rumor that the Bent might be making a special appearance at the Teck dvd premiere...?

I really like the new 7's now, I may have to convince my dad to get one next year. Is there any reason you went with the Li over the i?

mikemc
10-21-2004, 03:57 PM
New 7s are definatly sick. Isn't this the wrong section though, not that it really matters.

Again... I can't stand the Japanese headlights on the new Bimmers. But yeah, my friend's grandma has a 740iL... I love playing with the navigation--

damn, if you got a new M5. the next time i get to michigan with my cousin/family, i'd deffinately try to drive by your house just to see that. might sound stalker-ish, but my cousin and i are jaded from head to toe about BMW's


and as for the idrive, we (my dad and i) were testing a 745li and he wanted to change the radio. the sales guy we were in the car with even was confused about it so i just reached between the seats and punched the thing in the middle, it worked though lol


congrats. !!!

AMGgirl
10-24-2004, 03:17 PM
I don't know if the M5 in in my future...I think we need to chill on buying new cars for awhile. We won't be able to afford a garage to put them in!

Riiiiiiiiiiight.... We can all see how you two are struggling to eat because you're so strapped for cash these days.... :)

Weird question, but I was wondering if you had more pictures of the house--inside and out. I've always wondered what a house like that looks like on the inside. Probably as beautiful, if not more, than the outside. Ah, maybe one day I'll know for myself, right? :p
