I need a reverse camera! This is unacceptable.
I thought an 80k car should come with a backup Camera. I don't drive daily but when I do it's always nerve racking reversing. I'm done I need this.
I think I've seen the bimian retrofit but they have 2 Options I think. Anyone have any suggestions or is that the only option that's is cost effective? I wonder if I can use parts from a part out car ? Thank you My car is 2016

I have a 2015 and used Bimmertechs rear view camera kit and it works perfectly.

Also the Pagani Hyuara is a way more expensive car than our F8Xs and that didn't come with a backup camera standard. You're paying for the car to go fast first, features second. |

What are you going to do? I grew up and drove cars that didn't have a passenger side mirror sometimes. How on earth did I ever change lanes without hitting someone.
I can feel your frustration, but you knew the car didn't have a backup camera when you bought it. Yeah it's a great feature to have, but you still have a rearview mirror, and I assume you can turn your head to look out the back window.

I thought all back up camera were mandated for the newer cars. Guess it didn't apply to the 3 series or the M3.

I didn't want the extra holes in the bumpers from all the cameras/sensors, so I wouldn't have changed my initial spec, but I haven't been bothered enough by it to retrofit a backup camera. I've just adapted my driving/parking style to not back up as much, and check my surroundings before getting in my car, like how people used to in the good ol' days. |

I wouldn't own an M3 in a big city anyway. It's too nice. 500 Abarth, GTI, or Mini Cooper with big turbo and apocalypse spec brush guards on both front and rear. Nobody's getting close to you then .

And seriously I can't fathom how this just isn't standard equipment. I was sure there was a federal law for them in 2015 but I guess not.
