The video interface + iDrive control unit (to switch to video mode using iDrive) + backup cam will set you back by almost S$1K. A few of us bought them from a korean company call Doseong.
I'm also looking for a good TV tuner, preferably a very good analog version because digital ones have limited programming.
What reverse sensor are you talking about? I thought all 5-series have them?

Is the iDrive control unit the aux input? I am planning to get that done soon. I have checked out doseong. Apparently they dont do walk in sale - their office is near my Korean office where my colleague tried to make enquiry.
Analog version would have poor reception right? My ex-e39 had an analog tuner which snowed in most places. It seems to pick up Indonesian channels well. I would have thought the digital's would be better reception though channels will be limited.
Reverse sensors are std for 523 and probably the 530s. Mine didnt come with - so i was thinking of getting a retrofit by our local agent (parts $2k + labour 1k
). The car is quite bulky and i find sensing my perimeters quite difficult.

Not all e60 came with PDC, most 520s did not have that option. I have been using Bumpercare, holeless reverse sensor. You can get it from Juzz4Car for about $200+ with installation.

Hello everyone on the Singaporean thread. Haven't posted on this thread for a while now as been quite busy at work. Hope everyone is well.
Will be in Singapore a few days in early November, so will there be any E60 meet up? Be nice to meet up with everyone I met before and also any new members of the forum.
Tategoi, I'll be in touch. You're on the same number right?

E60 hardly had any GTG nowadays, mostly we go to BMW.SG meet-up on the last Sunday of every month.
Anyway will give you a call when I'm there to catch up.
Cheers
