A friend and I are working on having my bodyshop guy build in a custom fog light into the rear Aero Kit skirt that lights up the rear when the car is triggered into reverse. This should act like a flood light and light up a large area behind the car, so you can actually utilize the camera at night. I must say that the back-up camera at night is completely useless in a dark area. It is of no help at all. You're better of sticking your head out the window and utilizing the standard PDC sensors for warnings of objects or people in your rear. A bad design by BMW I must say.
