Re: Anyone have a dash cam?
I had the same Taz, but pull it out 3 or 4 times and then it is fine. Just the first few times it is a bit tight.
…. and for the perverts on the forum, I am talking about sliding the camera from the footing

I notice Adamski isn't worried about things like Dash Cams being posted in the E89 section when they are not model specific

Re: Anyone have a dash cam?

Thats good... my 0803 had the base slightly wobbly.. an apparent design defect.. so i had to use a thin strip of electrical tape to stop excess vibration.. i guess they fixed that in the 0805
And yeah the plates are not clear especially at night.. as i found out when someone hit the rear of my Z late last year and i drop past them but i coudlnt read their plate from my cam.

Great devices. Clear enough to be used against you, but not clear enough to prove who cut you up / caused the accident ahead.

Yes. What are people doing for rear view cameras on the Z4?

Re: Anyone have a dash cam?
if the reg plate of the car in front of me can't clearly be read then this is only any use in a collision where the vehicles come to a complete stop

Not even close to being true. When you're trying to provide evidence your not guilty of a driving offence then the fact the other party isn't identified is neither here nor there.Taz wrote:if the reg plate of the car in front of me can't clearly be read then this is only any use in a collision where the vehicles come to a complete stop
