juniortabak · 04-23-2014, 05:01 AM

Hi All,

After a very long time I did personal import to a 2013 335i from the US, will get the car in one month, does anyone know if it has surround view it's has also the top view?

Thanks,
Uri

Yes it has.

You can look it up yourself http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html

Why you importing a US BMW to Israel ?

Thanks,

I can see the surround view but how can you know that it comes with the Top view?

Thanks,

I looked up your car based on the VIN you posted and it has Driver Assistance Plus, so you will have side and top view cameras in addition to the regular rear view camera.

Technically, this car does not have Surround View, just Top View. Surround View referrs to what you can get only on the new X5 and LCI X3 where they use the rear view camera, top view cameras, and a new front view camera to give you a top-down view all the way around the car. Top View just uses the rear view camera and top view cameras.

That said...if you get Top View you get Side view which includes the camera's on either side of the front bumper like sideways. I wish it had the newer Surround View with the front center camera as it would be helpful to see the curb/parking block in front but the side view cameras help with this as well. Truthfully you don't need any of it but its a cool and useful feature nonetheless.

^ Agreed. Having all those cameras, regardless of how good you are at parking, is like cheating for parking. Really makes it so much easier to get it just right.

The front view camera is actually also very useful in the new X5 when you're offroading
