This has got to be the coolest gadget ever on an BMW

Cool! I read somewhere that the new X5 will also have this feature. Benz, Lexus and Acura also have it.

Really cool technology, thermal imaging. And it's only a couple months away.

it's too bad they can't put it on the HUD... it's a catch 22, you're looking at the screen but not really on the road.. the HUD option is real cool...was playing around with it when I took my neighbor's E60 M5 out.

Just another reason to lust for the new M5 (yes, I do LOVE it).

[PersonaNonGrata]

It's cool stuff indeed. When a friend got that option on his Lexus LX470, we went out to a really dark area to look for rabbits running around. It's not perfect NV but it's pretty darn good. (Yes, we were very bored that night.)

Yay, good to see BMW is catching up to the new technology.
