fair enough. Over the years I've had vehicles that made me become very aware of the spacing on my vehicle at the time. I had an "odd" streak with lowriders in highschool and did the whole 13x7 reversed wheels with stretched tires on my car, making the wheels stick out past the fenders....you haven't seen curb rash until you misjudge your lane width on a bare aluminum rim! About 10+yrs ago myself and another guy in town were competing to see who could lift their truck the highest. Try maneuvering around this little green guy...I got good at learning my spacing within the lane. The higher I went, the worse it got...I finally stopped at over 19" of lift and 46" tires Never hit anything with it, just CONSTANT tickets for bumper height, mudflaps, etc. Between moving planes in the military and a CDL after the fact, I sometimes take longer than most as I go slow and steady when comes to limited sight distances.

Getting a backup camera for the X5 is by no means needed, I just figured for $35, I might as well fill the option on my screen and shave about 5 minutes of back and forthing the rare times that I tow with the X as well
