But this model gives you options. you can always code something for it, and once the main ability is there, its only a few more weeks.
Otherwise I will have another blackvue.
the bmw system could be good for track days.

I love the enthusiasm, but.... Other than having the quad view camera recording option, what other "options" does this system have that BlackVue and other similar aftermarket systems don't have (at least based on what was demonstrated in the video)? Don't get me wrong, I am not a BlackVue "fanboy" or anything. But the capabilities of BMW's Drive Recorder system still needs to mature a bit more IMHO.....
As far as coding goes to "turn on" additional functionality, time will tell. There is another coding thread in this forum where drive recorder is mentioned, but the potential for turning on more stuff looked very slim - but it is still very early in the iDrive 7 coding discovery phase as a whole...
