from what I recall seeing from other BMW models, it's a black/white contrast thing and indeed you don't really have to take your eyes off the road too much. FLIR in choppers are the same thing (except maybe greener :D )

While it is a cool feature I wouldn't pay extra for it unless it was an available option for maybe $500... not anywhere near $5k.

I live in the 'country side' so to speak, I routinely see deer on my way to work in the middle of the road. I don't however see a need for night vision IMO. And at 5,000 I really don't see a need for it :)
:iagree: x10.

It's probably only worth the money if you're into dogging!

think of the advantage of being able to see a police car way up ahead with all his lights off... but the engine still warm....

probably not the best use of this technology....
