Hello. I have heard that the 2002 version of the 745i have a lot of problems with them. Is it a wise idea to just get a 2003 version for more money? I have heard that not all the 2002 versions have major problems but what is the probability that it will? Should I just get the 2003 which costs a lot more? I am thinking that if the 2002 has problems I will have to shell out more money to get it fixed so it will be around the same as buying a 2003 745i. Any opinions?

well it wont be any worse then a chrysler! lol! just search roadfly, its hit or miss, my 02' has been flawless

I'll second that....only problems have been a dead battery every once in a while from all those fircken motors in the car.

same here, my 02 745 has been great(knock on wood)

If you're worried about it, get an 03 or newer. Another bonus is the i-Drive in the 03's and up were much easier to use than the 02's. The 02 is what gave i-Drive a bad name. A/c issues are also pretty common in both 02 and 03's.
