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).

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.)
