Personally, I’d look into a battery solution designed for this purpose, as there are a number of modular options.
I found dashcams consume more power than I thought and this can impact the car battery, even with a voltage cut off in parking mode.
Here’s the BMW Advanced Car Eye 3.0, and there are threads on here covering this -

Still confused by why bmw does not enable drive recorder to capture on impact while car is parked, and simply notify via mybmw app. I would even pay subscription fee for something as clean as drive recorder.

I will search more dash cam threads. Thanks. Was F46 unused in your case or did you use add-a-fuse?
