Car Forum / BMW Cars / August 2008BMW testing new night vision system?
Our friend DerTuner just caught this facelifted BMW 3 Series wagon in Germany. If you look closer to the front you will see a night vision system integrated in an M3 front bumper. Strangely this doesn't seem to be an M3 model considering the hood and side fender are standard. To add to the confusion, the back bumper is also M3 styled but the right side exhaust are not there. Would any non M3 version be fitted with the M bumpers.. the future will say. (...)

Supposedly it has a further range, detects people and animals better, and is less expensive. The original system has been available on the 5 and 6 series too. I am not sure what's visible in the OP's picture link actually is a "new night vision system". It looks like the sensor for the adaptive cruise control from what gather. At least it's located in the exact same spot where it is on the current E-90. But then again, since I don't have the nightvision system on my E-90 or E-91 I could be putting a big foot in my mouth here, which would not be all that unusual LOL >I am not sure what's visible in the OP's picture link actually is a > "new night vision system".

The rear bumper is taped over and weird too. I don't see where Night Vision is needed while backing up, but stranger things have probably happened. |
