The rear view camera is like having 2 monitors on your computer... Once you have them, you will never go back. And really miss them when you don't have them...

I agree completely. Our X3 has the surround view and the GT just has the regular, but I am a fan of both. Like one of the previous posts said, I have parked big cars and trucks many times without assistance from a camera, but, if the technology exists to not have to, why not use it? On a car like the GT, the tail is deceptively hard to see, so the $900 spent on the camera is worth it many times over (although, I am still irritated that a camera is not standard on a $45k+ car and especially so that it's not part of the tech package.)

Its not really to address driving skill, my comments are only based on my experience with the GT - FYI Never had a car with a rear view cam and my GT doesn't have it either...
It is still a car and I can still park it without a cam BUT the car is taller/longer, the rear window makes it harder to look back and lets not forget the GT doesn't have a rear wiper.... sooo you WILL find places/times where you cant see back there and stuff that the sensors fail to detect. In my opinion, this is an option worth having in the GT. Last edited by x-m4n; 04-22-2014 at 11:10 AM.. |

THe chuckle on this is that a similar scenario works with my wife's Mini-Cooper Clubman (with the seats down) --which is also a BMW product~ Funny thing is that the same stuff won't fit in my son's Lexus SUV.
