BMW 745Li Reviews
The long-rumored restyle of the car's controversial lines still had not arrived (BMW unveiled the mid-cycle restyle as a 2006 model), despite rumors dating back to 2003. Additional feature content was added for '05, with the obstacle-detection system standardized on V-8 models, and steering-linked adaptive headlights made standard as well. With this new equipment came a price hike of $600 for V-8 models and $100 for the V-12's, but the value of the extra features more than balanced the increased cost. New options appeared as well. Comfort Access provided automatic keyless entry and start functions.
Unlike a conventional remote keyless entry system, where a button pressed on the keyfob unlocked the doors, this system automatically unlocked the doors whenever the keyfob was brought within a certain distance from the vehicle. Even better, it allowed the driver to start the car just by pressing the engine start button, without ever removing the key from a pocket or purse. The other addition was the Rear Entertainment Package, which combined a fold-out 6.5" monitor on the rear of the center console, headphone jacks and controls in the rear center armrest, and a separate 6-disc CD/DVD changer mounted in the side of the trunk. Available on all models for $2,200, it made the time pass a lot faster for rear-seat occupants.
