It is amazing to me that BMW does not have access to a good quality camera and that they elect to do nothiing about the coplaints. They should have held off on this option until they got it right.
How many German digital cameras do you see when you walk into Best Buy ? And how many are Chinese or Japanese ? Either Asian cars have better access (ie lower cost) to better cameras or Germans don't really care or at least thought that consumers wouldn't care about back-up camera quality (though I'm not sure how good MB cameras are). It's probably a combination of both. Just my $.02.
