2024 M240i - Video Recorder
Hello,
I've just purchased a 2024 M240i. It includes the Parking Assistance Package, with the Surround View. 1. It does not include the optional "Video Recorder" option which was another $100 from the factory. Is the function of the "Video Recorder" to allow the Surround View cameras to record 360-degree activity? If so, seems like such a bargain. The dealer sales person was unable to tell me. I'd like to undersatnd what is the "Video Recorder." I notice the 2025 models now have "Drive Recorder" which seems to address this. 2. If I want front and rear video recording capabilities, is my only option now to purchase a dashcam. I am seriously considering the "Advanced Car Eye 3.0 Pro", even at the estimated cost of $1,500 dealer installed. Are most of you going this route, or should I be considering 3rd party products? Thanks for your patience with this very first post in these forums. - Felix |

the drive recorder is just a button you push and it will save the last 20 seconds (configurable) and next 20 seconds using all the cameras (configurable).

You need to configure those 20 seconds though, not sure what it comes with as standard, but there are options to change the time before, time after, etc...

I believe it will also take video before and after if someone attempts or does steal your vehicle. You can view it from your phone I think but I haven't tried.
