I'm not trying to push anyone buttons here, okay......

I was at the dealer picking up my car from the window reg. repair. A nice looking blond walked in with the exterior door handle from a 760 in her hand. SHe located the salesman she bought the car from and started in on him. She claimed that all the windows have failed, the window and door seals leak (or have leaked) the wind noise is awful and the this is the 3rd time the door handle has come off. She said "This thing has been a nightmare from the start!" She was then asked to tone it down and escorted to the back somewhere. Now, I have read that there were some problems with the early 745's but is this still an issue? IF....what she was claiming was true, then someone in Quality control is sleeping on the job. So are the newer 7's really this bad?

On a lighter note. Once all my paperwork was in order and was waiting for my car to show up, she came outside to smoke. They pulled up in my 7 and she looked at me and said, "Now that is a good car. Not like the new ones. I should have never traded mine." I smiled and politely said thank you. Loaded up the kids and drove off smiling.

eh...i dunno what her deal is...but that sounds like a pos.

Mine however has none of those issues...in fact its probably the most impressive car ive ever owned in terms of build quality.

and wind noise? I can hardly keep myself awake when driving its so quiet and smooth.

me thinks she is looking for a way to return it.

I have not had any of these so called problems and glitches yet. I hear the E38 has its fair share of problems too. At least most E65s are still under warranty.

My e38 has had its problems but nothing like door handles falling off or weather stripping coming loose. Maybe it was one of the ones that slips through once and a while. Who knows, maybe it was wrecked at some point. I was just wondering if this was representitive of the model.

And mine is still under warranty! At least till December anyway. I would bet her car had more miles on it than mine does. :)

mighta been a friday @ 445pm kinda car.

I guess she got unlucky with her car, it happens.

I think someone was pulling your chain with that whole scene. Did anyone videotape it for AFV? I would have asked for ' Wonder Woman's ' autograph for pulling-off the door handle...and air leaks??? That is hard to believe.
I too have to make some expresso before a trip, so I don't fall asleep at the wheel..it is so quiet (without the Logic 7 on).
That was a funny story. Thanks.
