Any other vehicles with the 180 degrees front and rear cameras?
I love my X5's front camera, it helps me get out of my driveway safely, and same with the rear camera, by pressing the button 2nd time, I can turn off the visual parking distance sensors and and use ultra wide camera to see the street and driveway safely.
Does any other vehicle offer this kind of camera setup? I've seen front and rear "wide" cameras, but I haven't seen anything like BMW's camera, especially the front, possibly due to the placement and position (right at the nose). Also, I drive a 2015 model, has there been any updates since 2014 to the cameras on BMWs?

I think most Nissan and Infiniti trucks have them as well.
My mother has the qx60 and she has 360 degree cameras. The camera for the front is located right in the infiniti emblem.   |

Very nice feature. I agree.
I believe the new 7 series and G30 5 series have this feature with possibly updated cameras(maybe hardware is the same). You can access the G30 cameras remotely(Smartphone ie Samsung Galaxy) also for a view around your car!

My wifes 2017 RX350 has the full view cameras and it works really well also. The NAV screen is so damn big you can have traditional backup camera view, PDC sensor alert, and 360 view all on the screen at the same time!! Pretty cool stuff so I told her she better NEVER hit anything with this car when backing up because it will even stop automatically if it detects an object

That's one thing I don't like, because if this was a feature on my X5, I'd be stopping several feet from everything and never be able to get out of my driveway, X5's beep goes solid even though there is about a foot space between bumper and the wall. I don't get this, I would really be annoyed if my car applied brakes with that much distance. Full view / surround is nice to have, but from what I've seen on '15 LX, there is no 180 degree front and back views. Plus the screen is square, unlike BMW's wide screen which makes it incredibly useful.
