Wink Is the gesture camera control removed for 2019?

I have the full cameras and gesture control on my 2019 M550i - i'm able to activate gesture control but for the life of me I can't get it to work for the cameras. I've watched YouTube tutorials, etc, and still can't get it to work.

I've enabled the gesture tips, and notice that when I manually pan around the car with the camera it does not show the gesture tip, which is why I feel it's been removed when I see tips for all other gesture features when I manually do something that has a gesture as well.

BUMP - I'm having the same issue...can't get the old pinchy-finger gesture control for the 360 degree view. I'll live, but am I missing something as well?

I have a 2019 vehicle as well, never tried the pinch rotate stuff, guess I'll have to try it next time to see if it's disabled...

you need to be stopped to get the cameras to rotate, possibly in park (I'm always in park when I use it)

This is a prime example of why the gesture control is more of a cool, gimmick to show your friends or kids than an actual efficient tool to use in everyday life.

I, too, don't always get it right, but when I do, I've noticed I touch my pointer finger and thumb together (makes a circle), and then drag my hand towards the right (or left if that's the direction you want to see) in a slow fashion.

In terms of height, with your elbow on the arm rest, just lift your arm up to a 45* angle while keeping your elbow on the arm rest. And then proceed with the above description.

Hope that makes sense.

I am convinced my car does not have it lol. Will have the dealer take a look when I take it in for service.
