Camera Package

grasso06 · 05-02-2010, 06:24 PM

I'm aware that the "camera package" with the side and top-view cameras isn't available until september production (sadly) on the 5 series...
But, on the US Configurator, it isn't listed on the 7 series anymore! Does anyone know if there's a known issue with the cameras or they're just tight on parts and have temporarily removed that option? It's odd

It is odd. I was in the dealership yesterday and the 5 GT had the Camera Package. It is listed in the 5 GT brochure but not along with the parking assist.

It's due to a supplier shortage of the cameras.

Thanks for the info. That blows!

They should wire the cars for the cameras and put the cameras in at a later date.

Does anyone know roughly how much the option will cost once its available?

$730 US MSRP plus you need Premium Package 2 for $2185 which requires Premium Package 1. Premium Package 1 is standard on the 550.

Does the camera come with the ZDA package on the 535i in the US?

Nope. The cameras are their own package. The only camera which comes in a package is the backup (3AG) in the ZP2 package. Like 'pharding' said, the Camera Package (top- and side-view camera) requires the ZP2 (which contains the backup camera and navi screen), which required the ZPP.

PS - I believe the retail price of the camera package is $800 US, and the dealer cost is $730 US.
