Hit and run
My wife found the car like this in the parking place in the front of the hotel (she was gone like 10 minutes)
The hotel security cameras didn't cover that angle (based on police) I'm wondering if i8 records anything using the front camera? (Like Tesla does...) |

Sad state of affairs. I've installed the BMW Advance Eye 2.0, which has front and back cameras. It has a "park mode" that is activated by radar and/or g-sensor. I can highly recommend it, although perhaps for the future in your case.
See https://bmwi.bimmerpost.com/forums/s....php?t=1741939 Although I've not used the camera in anger, the resolution I got from someone backing too close to me (although they didn't impact) was good enough to read the licence place. One thing to consider is both cameras are quite visible - but that's what it is. |

I decided to put a camera in both my M3 and i8 when I heard about someone vandalising cars in the "secure" carpark at work. As I drive both of these to work, I put cameras in them. What I like about the BMW camera is when it starts recording (in park mode) a little white light begins to flash, which hopefully provides a deterrent. As it turns out, no one was caught and when the carpark got full with people returning to work, the vandalism stopped. Nevertheless, they are good dash cams even if the software app is a bit naff. |

I'm considering this dash cam, but I'm not sure yet if there is a way to install somehow the rear camera on the i8 roadster:

Does your bonnet/hood need slight adjustment?
It might just be the angle of the picture? It looks a bit too far back. It looked a bit different to my eyes, so I just went to look at mine. The wing edge and bonnet should align perfectly I think. |
