They arnt loaded with options.* Its simple... a car with 500 optional systems is gonna have more problems then a vehical with 3. I think BMW is doing a great job with the amount of tech they are packing into these cars.

and Tacro I have to agree with you right there......and if I may add: any NEW model once introduced in ANY car will have some bugs which ought to be worked out (recalls etc) ; and yes BMW is can not be the exception to this role....no matter how they test pilot these cars; I believe the ultimate test hinges upon the end user...that is to say US the customer...... We all have seen what the E60 went through at first.......and that is why when you buy a used car in its last year of production; you can be so sure, it is almost near perfect....example? look at the 528i in its final phase as E39 prior to the introduction of the E60:-- too much technology too soon, I am just about to say when the E60 was introduced, it was way a head of its time!!!
