Does not come on automatically. Need to push the button mentioned above. You can toggle between back and all through the idrive

Yes, that is true When you put your car in reverse, it will automatically turn on. When your stationary, or drive slowly forward, you have to manually push your camera button to on.

I don't understand why there's still no front camera for this car. They could've included a frontal view together with night-vision. |

I like it. I use it in 2 situations:
1) Entering a T-junction with poor visibility 2) Parking - tells me where the front of the car is so I don't touch the curb.

Yes, that is right, but I responded to his question the way he wrote it. I should have said, when wanting side view, push the button nd when backing up is is an automatic feature.
Btw now I have a question. I just picked mine up last night and for some reason, my top view only works when I push the proximity button to get up close when parking in the garage. It should work when I push the camera button. Any ideas on that would be helpful also. Quote:

Thanks for that info, but it was the top down view info I needed it you had any ideas on that one. On one m5 all I had to do was push the camera button and it would toggle between top view and side view. How is yours working.

What you call "top down" is called Surround-view. It works the same on all M5's, just go and try it on your car you'll understand.

I'm disappointed with the amount of time it takes to activate the side cameras. By the time they are up and running the opportunity to use them has passed. Should be instant on.

they should have had that button isolated off on its own. maybe on the steering wheel back somewhere, and the display for it should have been in the instrument cluster, more in your line of sight. |
