Even if you could get it - would it work? The standard parking sensors are over sensitive at the best of times - you hit the red zone with a constant beeping a good foot away from any obstructions.
If this works on anything like the same principle it will NOT halp you park in a tight space.
What you really need is a chauffeur.

My Ride: 525d E61, M-Package in Carbonblack, DVB-T and X-Box installed
What they mentioned was also that you need 1m more space for the system to run. Don't know where you're parking, but if you cannot park into a slot with about 6m with your E61 you should think about another car....

I ALWAYS find that I have to manuevre within the red full warning zone on the current parking sensors. This active parking business sounds cool, but I cant imagine ever finding a big enough space to use it (and if I did I'd probably be able to drive straight into it anyway).
Nice idea though.
