Yeah, after seeing it in action on my brother's ML63, I really wish I had it, esp since it helps with all parking (garage, parallel, etc). I'm one of those guys that grew up playing Need for Speed, Project Gotham Racing, Forza, etc. so seeing a car on a screen and parking is a piece of cake for me . I park my brother's car perfectly/quickly every time with it. I have enough driving skill/experience to use my mirrors and reverse park etc, but having extra eyes/birds eye view always makes things better .

At least I coded my car so that I can get access to the rear view camera by just tapping the iDrive when the PDC gets active when approaching obstacles/garage at low speed. The greyed out R for rear view camera in the PDC menu becomes clickable/white/active - really convenient.
