From owner reports, verbatim
I purchased a new 26 BMW I7 with the Rear Theater and Executive seating options, for my [XXX] & [XXX] daughter's to enjoy. The screen broke day one, and has spent 10 days in the shop the first 44 days of my ownership. Beyond my reliability, and technical issuws the car has a major safety flaw/concern i asked BMW to address. With the rear screen down and blinds up i have zero rear view mirror visibility. BMW did not include the necessary rear view mirroor camera to allow for visibility out of the rear view windo. Watch this video Below: [XXX] . I took it in to address this blatant safety concern, and they quoted me $4300 to install the required safety feature.
