It happens to the best of cars...I own both a 745i and a AC Snitchzer 760li and have had a few problems with the electronic starter on the 745 and have had the mini fidge in the 760 almost freeze stuff and then thaw it back out...
I have had very good luck with the navigation and sound system and other controls on the BMW 7 series...and personally just liked the driveability of the BMW a bit more than the A8. I'll tell you what though...make sure the dealer gives you the most recent dvds for the navigation system....makes a wolrd of a difference...
