2021 Parking Assistance Package - $700 Question
In order to have surround camera you have to opt for this feature? Also, they mention rear camera in this package, wasn't this supposed to be standard as of 2 years ago?

Parking assistance package gives you surround view as well as parking assistant over the standard rear camera and PDC. I don't think you get a 3 series now without PDC and rear view camera as standard. Rear view camera is mandated by law i believe.

The Executive package used to include the surround view. Now, one has to opt for this package to have the surround view which is the only feature of interest. I don't know what PDC is.

For $700 you get aditional cameras and the ability for the car to park it self. It will also open up future features such as drive recorder.

Even though rear view camera is listed on the Parking Assistant Package, it now comes standard.
The package adds the following: Active Park Distance Control - this turns on the cameras and warning tones automatically when you are pulling into a parking spot when it senses the obstacles or curb in front. Parking Assistant Plus - the self parking, both parallel and perpendicular. Surround view with 3D view - the surround cameras and is also required for the remote 3D view via the BMW Connected App. So OP, to answer your question, yes you need the Parking Assistant Package to get the surround view cameras. It is well worth it. |

I was lucky to have it added before my build went into production. After speaking to a bmw genius they also informed me that the back up assistant is also a feature you get with the parking assistance package. Which is probably the second best feature besides the 360 view camera. Also if your car build is equipped with the executive package the parking assistance is $500

6DR Drive Recorder
Only available on 2021 3 & 4 series sold in North America. $100 Cost You can record 40 second clips and then save to your vehicles hard drive and even transfer them to a USB. Can be set to record collisions 20 seconds before and after and if you honk your horn twice, you can manually begin recording without using the menus. I ordered it but my car hasn't arrived yet. |

I have the 360 cameras on my X3M and really like them for parking. All the M340s I am looking at either have the Parking assistance OR driver assistance pro. Not many have both options which is annoying. If I had to choose I think I would pick the DAP+ which is more useful when you really need vs only when you park in lots.
