Regarding that top view, I wish BMW's system was a little more similar to Infiniti's top view by displaying, as default, side by side views of both top view and back-up camera view. This would allow you to simultaneously look around you at the same time as focusing on the rear view once you get closer to a wall/object as you back in. Currently, I use top view when I start to back in, thus aligning all sides of the car with the parking space, and then switching to rear view as I approach a wall/object so I don't smash into anything. At least we have a nice radar system that is active the whole time when backing up but a simultaneous camera view would be awesome.

They are all nice to have though (if your budget permits), but your BMW is prefectly fine without them. Pretty well " can-live-without" items... If you have the luxury of choosing individually in US, then I'd suggest making wise choices... you will be paying quite some green for each item In Canada, since all of those items are part of a package, it's a bit more difficult to seperate them and we don't have much choice... But if we could, I'd defintely not choose the top view camera, and the tailgate. The sound system which I have (on a 28i) is perfectly enough as well... |

I am finding, now that I'm settling into the vehicle as my daily driver that the top down camera option is awesome. It's easy to switch between just rear or top down, and being able to see the curb or parking lines is great!

I ordered the power liftgate because my 5-foot wife liked the idea.
I ordered PDC and Topview because, depending on the car, I can be a horrible parker - including curb scuffs. I did not order the Premium sound system because my ears are already damaged by listening to too many premium sound systems at too high a volume for too many years. And, quite honestly, the quality of anything that I'm likely to play in the car isn't worth the upcharge. |
