Hello,
I recently purchased a f30 328I Sportline without reverse camera.
After doing some research i found a company that has a retrofit for $199. A bit skeptical but i gave it a go, as i have extremely tinted windows and could not see behind me.
This is the kit:
The kit took me about 3 hours to install, and i have to say, i am extrwemly happy.
it comes with a reverse camera that clicks in by the hood latch, looks OEM as heck!
UPDATE: Video of how the rear view camera works in daylight.
Here is a video that shows how bright it is at night:
The reverse camera works with the stock idrive, and also has dynamic parking lines when you move steering wheel.

If you do buy it make sure you use coupon code:
free-shipping for 3 day free DHL shipping to USA.
If anyone is interested, i can make a tutorial of it, but it was well worth it!
****BEFORE YOU BUYN READ THIS****
You have to select which version you have: CIC, NBT or EVO.
**IF YOU HAVE CIC YOU WILL HAVE TO MANUALLY CHECK THE PINS TO SE IF ITS A 4PIN OR 6 PIN CONNECTOR.**
Go on your main menu, and compare the red highlight, one is more red, the other is more orange. Both EVO version apply to just evo.
For example, my car has a 6.5 inch screen and i had the NBT menu. so i chose the following:
This is important, as the connector for the screen is different.
