Spotted M8 Fire Red Individual Manufaktur Edition!
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Any idea what that black box is below the grill just above the splitter? It is not a parking sensor or camera, as they are visible above it. Pics! |

I think it is the night vision sensor.

Night vision is normally in the grille. The sensor OP is referring to is for the radar based cruise control.

I think it could be both radar cruise control and night sensor. I have night sensor option on my car and it shows up as a low to the ground view coming from this spot.

The "black box" below grill (#1+#5) is the sensor for ACC (active cruise control) + Stop-n-go feature as well as Driving Assistant features: https://bimmercat.com/bmw/en/search/...iX/ECE/66_0512
The "night vision" camera is located in the left kidney grill...see #3 in diagram below: https://bimmercat.com/bmw/en/search/...iX/ECE/66_0514

Only 19 special editions are left now for the Canadian market. Such a success that BMW used black tape to hide the decals.

Damn that car looks sick! The more I look at this, the more I wish BMW would have used a kidney size like this for the new 4!

Although I am neutral to red colors, this shade of red looks great.
