Especailly if you can see the parked vehicle behind out of at least one mirror it shouldn't be a problem parking it and judging distance.. I guess a reverse camera is only worth it for the less confident driver or for commercial vehicles with no windows on the back... But an x5 you can see the whole way round just like any other car..
But you can't! You simply can't see all the corners of the car from the driver's seat. I lived in London for years, and became an expert at parking my old Mini in the tiniest of spaces, but only by taking more and more risks and getting out to look at the gaps with smaller spaces.
