Hi Guys,

My dealer just called me and told me that I cannot have the M Sport Package along with the Night Vision Camera because the are complications of installing the Night Vision Camera into a M Package front bumper. I am really mad at this because these options made my purchase decision and it costs $400 for a special order on top of $2,500 for the Camera.

I swear I have seen Night Vision installed along with the M Skirt Package. Can someone please find it for me. If anyone has one installed, along with the M Package, do you guys know if the bumper is the same as Canada and US Spec?

I'm going to pull all the strings I can to get this, and if I can't I will decline the car.
Any help is appreciated.

TIA,
~Andy

On BMWUSA.com or in Canada BMW.ca you can build the car with the M sport package and Night Vision with no problem. Have the dealer build one to spec with those options from the site to show them that you can have both options. If they still don't believe you can have both after seeing it from BMW's sites then you need to find a new dealer.

Take a look at the pictures in the following thread:

It's clearly available on cars with the M-sport package...

Sounds similar to situation Veight had. His issue was just the plastic fitment for the camera in the front bumper. I recall it was a big deal for the part to be shipped from Germany.

Guys!!!

My dealer found out the reason why Night Vision Cannot be mounted on a 535xi with Sport Package. They say, the reason is because the Intercooler is interfering with the Installation of the Camera. Does anyone have a 535xi with M Bumper and Night Vision?

TIA,
~Andy
