I've got an M40i on order (not allocated yes) and notices that the configurator now includes the Drive Recorder option.

It says:

"Keep track of everything. The Drive Recorder makes it possible to record a video of the vehicle's surroundings at all times and play it back on the central information display. Essential vehicle information, such as speed and GPS position, are synced with the video for even further accuracy."

Couple of questions:

1) Is it recording all the time? Or just when manually activated or when a accident occurs?

2) What does it look like when it displays the gps/speed info?

Thanks!

records a certain amount of time before and after you activate it via a button press or an accident, takes a 360 via recording you can put on a USB. Not "always on" recording like a dash cam. It records all stats pertinent to driving, speed location g force direction, time, etc..

Its great for accidents, but not a dash cam replacement....yet.

I also remember it being very low resolution, like 720p, so picture quality and dynamic range don't compare to separate 4K dash cams.
