Plastic dash and plastic rear a/c vents. Even the door handles where loose because they are made out of cheap plastic. The 745li is the only car, I like by bmw. The cars was just too big for me and I felt more like a limo driver. Only thing I fear about the CL500 is the ABC problems. Is there any warranty companies that will cover this?
Then opt for the short wheelbase E65 745i.

My dad had one...plastic door handles? If my vivid memory doesn't deceive me...they were made of aluminum or at least brushed metal.
