It's std on 545, but not on 530 or 525.
PDC in accessory list is not integrated in i-Drive which means that there is no display on i-Drive

Why too bad?!? Order it through options list (as oposed to accessory list) and you'll get it factory installed and integrated with iDrive screen. Only the one in accessory list is not integrated.

The PDC in the accesory list is not integrated into idrive, but it is a whole lot cheaper.

I agree, as 750 ? cannot be viewed as cheap. But what is really cheap about this car?

I'd say nothing comes cheap in the whole life.

I wouldn't bother buying only rear PDC after car delivered. It's just give you the beeping sound which you'll find annoying later on. Just my $0.02

I'm also interested in getting the PDC, but I'm just curious to know what is the break down of the costs between the accessory's list and the options list. And how much would it cost for labor at the dealership. Thanks guys.

accessory = $275 (back sensors only) + installation labor (at least 3-5 hours, approx $99/hr)
option = $700 (including front sensors)
so it's a better bet to get it as an option.
