Note to potential luxury car buyers: before you visit the store to test the new BMW 745i, please perform the following tasks. VCR Wall $ Street week to tape it down to the value set; using a calling card to make a quick call to a phone number in your mobile phone foreign schedule; reformat the hard disk of your PC. To accomplish these tasks underestimate the risk of embarrassment in front of the sales clerk who sees people technological. Press launch of this car, without any help on how to use a number of different vehicles that has driven reporters 745i a half-hour crash course was given. It was supposed to an hour most.


Practical touches of the drive everything is new and different. For example, just to continue on the path of the drive key (1) The plug stick it in the dash slot, (2) Brake pressure, (3) the "START / STOP" button (4) is tight to the shift lever towards the steering wheel and back down, or to bow down (returns to center when you release publication), (5) to release the parking brake press the button, and finally step out of the vehicle. When you're finished, press the slider button to the park.

Weird shifter has company. Sap electronic steering column brushing with four others, cruise, Wiper, washer and turn signal / main beam functions controls. Each self-centered study, ergonomics, or both of them will feel peculiar. These grips only confirms them to a computer that accepts requests and in most cases transfers to your wishes.

A large part of the vehicle, such as a computer controlled, especially central idrive system with rotary push button that runs the 700-plus functions. Eight of them to the main menu and the various sub-menu, pointing and clicking is quite easy to learn. System, to enable you to run without attracting too much attention from the road to mastering, the need for longer than half an hour - not even in the classroom. Criticism is more ergonomic, longer ride, and while learning English, we will distinguish the sound controls until you find the opportunity to try out.

A crash course completed, the mirrors were targeted, the seats set (new and a bit hectic through switches), the BMW's optional electronic damping control (EDC) Forever we drove to the mountains of Italy's opening test car equipped with adjustable shocks and the shocks in sport or comfort of the driver programming.

We hit the road in comfort mode and optional 19-inch low-profile footware (18-inch tires more but more base cashier stole) the car we met up with the ride incredibly smooth. This smoothness, extreme fluctuations came at the expense of a bending at the top, appearing as more of a BMW and uncharacteristic rises. Also New is rack-and-pinion steering, the previous 7-series, such as unpleasant and we felt cut off in comfort mode.

We moved the car and drive around for a moment and I have used BMW shock absorbers for the sport we were taken to be converted to action. The weight of the steering wheel (roughly 15-20 percent less help) described the situation in the edge of the contact patch and the rims felt more natural. Hardness of the layer is improved quite much more control of body movement.

All of us in 7 years, BMW's new active anti-roll-bar-mode independently from the EDC system and will be equipped with a mid-level driving almost immediately in all the body roll will disappear. Even in fast transient maneuvers, we couldn't turn on the system; that is, we won't zig while gagging. While driving in a straight line, anti-roll bars effectively removing properties, the test loop as it is in a flat, non-shouldered, narrow strips softens the ride extremely smooth. Still, the ride and handling of this car skills, there's no denying a sense that owes more to traditional Athletics fresh chassis compared to the Bionic.

However, there is no any obligation in the drive train section. This 325-hp Valvetronic V-8, It's not great. Is smooth and quiet at idle and cruising speeds, nice quiet tenor singing the Notes to be boiled. And flies straight up, smooth as an Olympic relay runner is transferred in a transmission manner from a runway. Ride-by-wire return mapping feature with the shift is equally smooth. The dynamic stability control system is often sufficient electrical power for use in a dry environment, but engaged instead of DSC in order to reduce interference with the brake rotors, which can be more dark or snowy traction system that is designed to allow a new dynamic. Enjoyable ride. Or smoky burnout, and doughnuts are both four-wheel and dragging with your style you turn off the system.

Our only complaint is the drive line system in the Department manual shifting is a hectic. Use the buttons on the front and rear of the rim of the steering wheel to the gearshift, first drive, sport and manual modes you must press the button that makes the steering wheel to switch between another. Audi's Tiptronic switches in any mode is working, but BMW, says he doesn't crush the buttons very easily; this, too, could be a problem if a gear reduction is desired on icy roads. Sixth gear in the system that interfere with the sport we managed to leave the gear in predicting the choice of enthusiasts fairly and did a good job.

It went on sale this month and about 70,000 745i $ price went on sale. 745Li 5.5 inches long, in the month of March, 4500 $ comes with additional chrome plating and Prime amenities. 6.0-liter direct-injection V-12 is coming next fall. Revolutionary 745i the journalists from BMW club members and friends from love / hate wait for them to provoke reactions. If you are him enough, technically, to do a long test drive before you pick a side. We plan.
