Why no 360 degree camera recording?
Why doesn't BMW do the same as Tesla and make the 360 cameras record video? Does anyone know if this can be done with custom coding? Are there any aftermarket solutions? I found one, but everything was in chinese. I'd much rather have this than a dash camera.

Is that not what “drive recorder” does? Or am I misreading your question?
In saying this it only records up to 40 seconds and also records in the event it senses an accident has taken place.

I'm just now hearing about drive recorder. I guess that's similar? But for example the other day someone was trying to ram my girlfriend in her car on the freeway and was harassing her for miles. None of that was recorded. Or at least not viewable.

You can set Drive Recorder up for manual and automatic recording.
In manual you press the camera button (next to the iDrive) and it records up to 20 seconds prior to you pressing it and then up to 20 seconds after. I’ve set mine up to record all 4 cameras... quality is ok but not the best. I think there are some examples on YouTube..

Thanks. Do you know if it's possible to buy the software from BMW if it wasn't an option? I talked to the service advisor about installing a dash cam, he didn't mention any of this and just recommended buying BMW's dash cam for $399 and having in installed for another $250.

It is an option (extra cost) in connected drive store assuming you, as stated, have all the required kit.
Below is a screenshot from my connected drive page.

I have it as a widget (as per suggestion in another thread). It lets you see the status of Drive Recorder. Every couple of days it shows (with engine running) that it is not available. IDrive reset and it is all working.... until next time.
You need to know it’s working so that in the event of an incident it will auto record!

Do you use Spotify and if so, do you have to follow the same re-registration process each time I-Drive is reset?

Reset does not sign me out of Spotify. I’m logged in under my own account..... and it doesn’t ask me to re-register.

That's interesting. I am logged into my own account as my playlists etc appear. Did you log in using the QR code or by inputting your username and passcode?

Thanks. Will give that a try instead of the QR code.
