I bought a new 2005 bmw 645i.and it had computer problems. The dealer said the manufacturer usually fixed problems in 60-90 days. It has been 18 months and the on board computer has problems with the entertainment, and bluetooth. The computer continues to play cd's after the engine is shut off. The dealer ignored the problem for months until I said the car would need to be bought under the "lemon law'. They will not replace the vehicle because they now say all 650 and 645 models have similar problems and they cannot guarantee another vehicle would perform without problems. The dealer and bmw northamerica are aware of the problem.

My bmw 745i has been in the shop repeatedly to fix a problem with the gas reading mechanism. The car tells me there is gas when there is none or vice versa. Twice the car has completely stopped working having to be towed. The most recent time was this morning while driving on the highway the car just stopped. The gas gauge indicated I had a half a tank of gasoline whereas it turned out it was completely empty. I was under an overpass, alone with cars zipping by on my left, a wall to my right and no one to stop me from being struck from the rear! On five separate occasions the faulty part was allegedly changed. First to the right side and then to the left (whatever that means) it still does not accurately read the gasoline.
