I used a Blackvue 750 on my B7. It was good when it worked but the app is flakey. And the backup battery to run it while off didn't last that long either. Haven't decided if I want one on my X6MC.

I'm also open to suggestions. I currently use a BlackVue 750 in my M550i, which is sort of prone to overheating.

The DriveRecorder also seems to have a software problem, I'll write a post about it.

Just picked up ours last night 2021 X5 M and this was one of the first things I want to do is make sure this works well enough without going to aftermarket. Would love to read your post!

With all of these hoodrat stunt drivers out on the roads I think having a good dash cam is a necessity nowadays.

A necessary evil. Wish our cars had a much better solution, both when parked and continuous, driving recording at 4K. Also without user input to save pertinent video.
