THUMBS UP

THUMBS DOWN

Once upon a time having a revising camera was “Beyond 2000” stuff. BMW and others take this technology to a new level. In this instance I’m in the 420i Coupe, but the trickery is found across the 4 Series range. It’s called “Surround View“. A patchwork of camera shots creates a 3D style video, I still find this to be AMAZING.
