I Can See You (Really, I Can, Friend): BMW Night Vision for 5- and 6-Series

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Black Flag's "I Can See You" may have been the band's last studio recording, but BMW is only just introducing its Night Vision system in the US for its 5-Series and 6-Series cars this coming March. (Betcha didn't think we could shoehorn that punk rock reference into this post, did you?) The driver-assistance feature, which allows a driver to see objects in the dark — at a range of up to 1,000 feet — on cars' control display (via a thermal imaging camera), has been available on 7-Series cars since late 2005. The system will be an option on all 5-Series and 6-Series models, though no word on price yet.
