Of course I did see these cameras on ebay.
There they sell full sets : front camera +back camera +wiring harness In my car the front camera was stolen. All I need is the front camera only. |

How the heck someone steals a front camera? Did they remove the bumper?

Once you have the correct 11 digit BMW part nbr...you can then call your local BMW dealership's parts department to get a price quote...as well as do a google/internet search using the 11 digit BMW part nbr. Just type BMW xx xx x xxx xxx (where x = the BMW part nbr) and you should get results of vendors selling the camera. You can also get more specific and add eBay or other auction sites...as well as amazon.com For example, I just pulled up the diagram using a 2015 F15 X5...and I assume you are referring to #1 in the diagram and link to the part nbr database below:

I don’t see how they can steal this. I had to remove the top of my bumper with the hood open to get replace my camera.

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=03_4151 https://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-BMW...kAAOSwQGZaqDcy It's hard to find in USA as it's prohibited in USA. OP has a damaged vehicle that was in a major collision. So I guess broken windows as well and probably someone took advantage and stole the camera. P.S. And yes, I know it's not relevant to what OP asked, but yes, I can steal your front camera that is in the bumper in 5min without removing front bumper, but with removing 1 front grill. I can do it in 2 min if I'm not going to care about your grills and just yank them out. Just did a front bumper swap and camera can be unplugged in 5sec, add 10 more seconds to grab the front bumper and create a gap big enough to unplug camera: https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1551820 The problem is I won't be able to make living on that, so have to stick to good old medschool Last edited by DuSh; 11-06-2018 at 11:04 PM.. |

I did check with one US dealership and they said that this camera not allowed in USA. Then I checked with another US dealership and they said that 8 cameras are on back order and will arrive in one month or so. Meanwhile I am trying to see if anyone here sells used front recording camera. |

Yeah, I agree with a better aftermarket dashcam. It makes no sense nowadays to even consider anything less than dual dashcam. You need 360 coverage, not just front. My wifes car was hit and run in the back quarter panel on parking lot. I ordered a dual dashcam with parking mode that has sensors for both cameras facing front and rear and will turn on if it detects motion. It has to have a external battery pack for that or be wired to car battery, but this is the only way to protect your car and have 24/7 coverage 360 degrees. Basically you'll have video evidence that it's not your fault and you are 100% not at fault (whether it's for insurance or police)- this is the main reason to have dashcam (and not because you will use it in court to blame someone). Just saying.

This is what I ordered 3 days ago for my wife's car. Not too expensive, but all options I need. It has a good Sony sensor and Parking mode motion detection. Plan is to either hardwire it to car battery for 24/7 parking mode motion detection or purchase an external battery pack that I can connect camera and battery pack itself will be recharged via 12v socket during driving. I'm still not sure what's the best way to do it yet.

Correct it is dual, there is rear camera as well in BMW AE set. Seems like I don’t need any aftermarket replacement.

I wonder why the BMW Advanced Eye dashcam has such a bad reputation.
The one I have was installed three years ago by BMW - under their BMW Accessory warranty - and it works fine. Its PC software is easy to use, shows both front & rear camera & position concurrently. It has all the main features I need. Main reason I chose it is that the installation is BMW's responsibility. Two things to note: - I painted the front camera's front with black matte paint, it makes it much less visible from outside; - I spent five minutes deciding exactly where to place the front camera (just left of the rear view mirror, as high as possibile) so that I can easily actuate the "protected recording" button that will put one video minute in a special folder, starting 30 seconds before pushing the button. |
