[Multimodal]

My 2012 X5 has parking sensors and surround view cameras that provide a birds eye view of the car while parking. I find this enormously helpful while parallel parking in San Francisco and other situations like hooking up a trailer. These feature doesn't appear to be standard or common on the G05; you have to order the Parking Assistance Package ($700) which adds Surround View w/ 3D View (birds eye and 3D surround view accessible in car or remotely via smartphone), Parking Assistant Plus (automatic parking), and Active Park Distance Control (audible alerts tied to ultrasonic parking sensors front and rear).

There are some nice X5s in stock in the Bay Area that don't have the Parking Assistance Package. I am hesitant to compromise on this one since I use it so much. (I can go without the automatic parking gimmick but the cameras and sensors are very useful.)

What is the parking experience like on the X5 without the Parking Assistance Package? (Do any of the features I mentioned above actually come standard?)

Did anyone here not get the Parking Assistance Package and regret it?
