If you are even thinking about a 7 series reliability, something is wrong with your buying decision.

Just because you want the top of the line, that doesn't mean you don't care about reliability or money. It should mean you get the best of the best. Unfortunately, with the Germans, you don't seem to get it.
Having to take the car in for service is a bother. Sure, some of the higher end owners who have 8 other cars can just have the help do it, but for those of us who have to do it ourselves, it doesn't exactly scream "Luxury!". Hopefully in the next generation, either reliability will improve, or BMW will take a page from Hyundai's Equus playbook and have concierge service. Either way, I'd like to see build quality mprove. Squeaks and rattles are unbecoming of a $100k luxury car.
