To paraphrase that famous line, "When you're in a BMW, what's behind you doesn't matter!". Seriously though, I don't find the outward visibility too bad. We have the PDC so at least we get an audible and visual warning if we're backing into something... The back-up cam should have been offered as an option. If you want to see (or NOT see, actually) really poor outward visibility, try backing up a 5 Series Grand Turismo! Thank goodness for the back-up cam in that, or it would be a complete disaster!
