Parking Assistance Package

I'm not sure what the Parking Assistance Package includes. It seems that all M cars come with full camera packages (front, rear and under each mirror). So does this indicate that the 360 degree, top-down view camera with all of the bells & whistles (panorama view, activation points, etc.) is all part of the standard equipment? And that the Parking Assistance Package only adds the automated parking feature and the drive recorder?

For anyone who's already taken delivery of their car, and didn't order the Parking Assistance Package, can you confirm if your car has a camera under each side mirror and what camera features your M has? 360 degree top down with close-up camera choices? Panorama views front and rear? Activation points? Car wash angle?

Thanks.

I think they all come with the rear camera. Side and front are part of the Parking Assistance Package

Standard includes a rear camera and parking distance controls on the front and back so you at least have sensors to tell you if something is close. The parking assistance package includes all the cameras plus the self parking if it's a competition model plus the drive recorder

Not sure if I will use the self parking feature, but the parking assist cameras are a pretty nice feature IMHO. The 360 view shows where your doors will open (or if they will hit a wall or another car) and it's a really clear picture of the car.

I didn't get this. To me the standard back up camera with the trajectory lines and the distance sensors are plenty good for any parking job.

I used the self parking for the first time today with a 6MT and it actually works pretty well. Did two parallel parks with it and both were great. Could have done it without, but main benefit is that it is super fast (only limited by how ballsy you want to be about accelerating in the reverse) and is a perfect park every time.

I got it for the 360 camera, once you have a 360 camera it's hard to go back to not having one, but pleasantly surprised with how well the self park works. One other feature I didn't realize it has - with the app you can get a 360 view of your car remotely. Not quite sure what the point of that is, but kinda cool to bring up the picture and make sure she's "safe"
