Nothing new, nothing we didn't know but I got to drive an I7 loaner while my M240i was in service and I got to compare the rear view camera and there are no excuses on why rhe m240i is so dark at night.

No need to say which one is the i7 below

the M240i also has near to no illumination from the reverse lights too so I assume that plays a factor

Yeah, I don’t know if it’s the wide hips cutting off the rear reverse lights or what but when parallel parking at night it’s really hard to see the curb in the mirror

Nope, no issues on placement, it is on camera "tuning/settings" they can expose the image but they decided not to. As you can see the upper part for the i7 it has more brightness making it more visible, that part is well above the rear bumper

I thought this was going to be fixed on the 2025 M240i I just picked up, which I was comparing to the 2008 X5 that my family has and it isn't much better in some scenarios. I wonder if swapping out the reverse bulbs for something brighter would help it?
