Dash cam for X3

Hello everyone, I’m new to this forum. Do you have any recommendations for buying a dash cam for the X3 M50? I noticed that Fitcamx still hasn’t released a version for the G45 yet.

Really , email FitCamx support . I’m sure an older will fit the G45 . Or did ya already confirm with them ?

One of the better options. Echoing the same suggestion.

The plastic housing around the mirror trim is different between the G45 and G01. Hence, the replacement trim provided for a G01 will not fit.

The USP of Fitcamx is keeping the look of the original factory trim.

Does the X5 record continuously in segments, or only when triggered, and with the engine running ? If you mean BMW Drive Recorder, it’s the later, and I don’t think there’s a parking mode, unless that’s changed.
