Reverse camera that actually fits?

I just bought what seems to be the only reverse camera available to us on fleabay Found here and to say it doesn't fit would be an understatement...

Do any of you know where I might find one that clips in nicely?

Term, what is a bumble bee camera?

Bulk, I think someone on here trimmed the shit out of that camera, and it fits.

bumblebee camera is just a regular camera that looks like a bubble:

It is just a nick name, like angel eyes, shark fin, clown nose...

Thanks everyone

Terminator thank you - that seems to be the best one. I was hoping that there would be a BMW original part but the bumblebee looks great. I think I'm going to cut out one of the screw holes and jam the camera up in there for a very stealth look.

For some reason, I thought you were looking for non-BMW options.

I don't know if these are still available.

Several threads about installing the cam in the roundel, like this one.
