I am very disapointed with the parking camera and all the 'masking' / 'dead zones'.

See below an example where I am quite far from the curb and the camera are very misguiding / useless to get closer to the curb.

why is BMW hidding a large portion of the area right next to the car ?

Because I bet the camera can see more than that. Actually the 'small top view' seems to have less 'masking applied.

Mercedes Benz have great side view showing you very precisely your wheels to avoid the curb. The BMW version seems poorly implemented.

Am I the only one which is bothered by this limitation of the backup camera on the X5 ?

I believe there's been some discussion about this on another thread. I agree that the cameras really don't give you a good view of the curb when your backing up or using the camera button to see the curb.

I think something changed with one of the updates that caused these dark areas in front of the car.

I hope they correct this with software because right now it looks very amateurish I mean this is BMW for pit sake... if they don't want to be bought out by Tesla in the coming year, they need to step it up.
