 I have had several 7 series, and I usually love them because they drive well, have beautiful interiors, and great technology.   Unfortunately, this model is terrible.   If you go to the lots, you will notice lots of year-old, low-mileage used cars... that's because people are having so much trouble with them.   Mine has been in for repair 4 times in the first 4 months.   The car will flash and display warnings, systems will shut down, it 'bongs'... literally will drive you insane.   It has already been recalled once, too.
