My Ride: e60 545i, build date july '04, saphire metallic black, auburn interior, sports package.
I feel this option would be useful in my area of the country where we have alot of deer along the roads in the evening and at night.

I have only had my car a couple of weeks and I have found it very useful already.
Its far infrared technology. (FIR)
You don't need high beams on at all. In fact you don't need lights on at all when the car is stationary. When moving you need the low beams on. It only appears on the I drive screen. Not on the HUD. The view becomes confusing on the HUD because you are seeing an image layed over the actual view from a different angle. Thats why they did it only on idrive.

I think BMW should consider the way it's been done on the Merc, have an LCD insert within the speedometer that will project the Night Vision, it could as well be used for other display such as vehicles hourney information...
Ooo Ya.. i really like that.
