I.M. Frustrated 
2002 BMW 7 Series Sedan 745Li 4dr Sedan (4.4L 8cyl 6A)
iDrive Failure
 I have owned this car for 97 days. Unfortunately for me, it has been in the 
shop 55 days and counting.   The iDrive system locks up frequently and 
when it does you lose the radio, phone and navigation systems.   I might 
understand it if this was a buget priced Daewoo or Kia, needless to say, it is 
not what I expect from a car that costs $80K.    As many other people have 
noted in the consumer reports, the dealerships are worthless at solving the 
problems.  The one I'm working with in Buena Park, CA,  is no different.  
BMW does not understand Customer Service.
