New BMW owner has a few questions....

Hey guys,


I am new here and I just got my first BMW. It is a 2011 BMW 328i with XDrive. I have a few questions and I think I found some answers but I want to make sure.


1. Does the 328Xi have a backup camera?

I have the navigation/ electronics package but did not see the backup camera listed. I really need it since I am used to it on my mom's Prius.


2. If there is no backup camera are what are the best aftermarket options? Could I install them or should I have someone else do it?


How is this:

I might have more questions and I will post them as I encounter them. Thank you all for your help!


I found this and it might be suited for me:

No cam. Nav-TV is what I have seen used here.

I see, so $750 for the Nav TV and another $100 or so for the camera? Add in another $100-$150 for installation and it's almost $1000....

Looks like I'll spend more on a backup camera than I did on the car itself! You would think the car would have a backup camera considering my Mustang which was just $30,000. Oh well, looks like Nav-TV or mod my nav project here in the future....
