The BMW engineers should go test drive a Lexus to see what a real camera looks like.

I agree. At night, the rear camara view on my wife's IS-350 looks like it has night vision! Our street does not have street lights, but I can still see every detail with her camara. On the E70 I test drove at night, all I could see was a black screen with a few specks of light. Of course I could also see the overlay on the black screen - really helpful

Faster idrive computer

1. fixed the i drive software. i dont want to have to re-set my brightness setting every 3 days.
2. make the rear brake lights entirely lcd/led whatever d it is i.e. 6 series brake lights
3. brakes that doesnt squeal
4. i dont care if bmw install a flash light in the rear of the car, i want to be able to use my rear camera at night
5. show rev and current gear on HUD
6. be realistic about service, i know its free but i dont believe changing oil every 15000 miles

agreed! The only lights that aren't illuminated are the ones used to see at night
I think there is a slot that acceps a change holder, the the center console, but I don't know
Dosen't your warning go away after 5-6 seconds? Mine does. Dosen't bother me at all!

Agreed...since by the time I get my seatbelt on and my applicable passengers are in the car...the warning is gone

Anyone else have opinions on this topic? Based on the results so far, it appears the majority of voters do not like the black plastic bumpers very much.

If you haven't already posted, please do. When completed, I will summarize the results and forward to BMWNA.
