Does anyone know when the 5 will offer the reverse back-up camera like the 7 and X5's?

You can get it as an option in the UK and Germany, but if you want one for a US car I think you'll have to find someone over there to get it and ship it to you. Since it's not a US available option, you may even have problems getting it installed; if I remember correctly, the US software may not accept the part.

I'm not 100% sure about any of this, so do some searching here - the topic has been discussed many times.

Just to throw this into the mix. Get the ACM and then you can use any aftermarket camera too.
