Have you guys signed up for the BMW studies on TestBirds?

This is probably the best way to pass your feedback along to BMW: TestBirds - BMW Test Community

I did the interview for the Theater Screen and was able to pass along some of my annoyances directly (especially with the eSim).


I actually have a few active bugs I've tried to pass along directly and don't think BMW is reading forums nor monitoring anything outside of specific channels. Don't let that discourage the conversation, but just explaining there may be specific outlets to pursue.

This is one of the suggestions I shared with my Testbirds interviewer since it also relates to the Theater Screen. I think it has to do with the angle of the rear window, but it's the first 7 series where I can't see through the rear sunshade at all while it's activated and also quite dangerous (not to mention illegal in many states).

Just my opinion, but I don't think there's anything stopping BMW from adding a digital rearview mirror feature right now to current 7 series owners since the tech is there and they can leverage the center displays to act as the digital mirror. Frankly, I'm a bit shocked they didn't think through this better as there's zero visibility through the rear sunshade.
