It been out in the 7 Series since last year, and 5 and 6 Series are getting it in March.

A friends father allowed me to drive his 750i with the system.

Its wonderfull here where you get people who cannot judge distance that just walk slowly across the highway at night.

You can see them approaching and crosssing the road on the screen way before even Xenons can pick them up.

And when someone infront blinds you with their lights you can still see people in the road on the screen.
