Could BMW have come up with a completely different powered system or nixed the hidden camera - sure. Did they - nope. These questions I cannot answer.
What I can say, is now that I have this in My M5, I really like it. But a dirty wet backup camera lens is useless, so there is a trade off.

^^ This + adding another one or two DC motors will add more weight for a car already has so much complains about over weight... |
Curious to see what BMW will do with the redesign of the 6 series. Will they keep the rear camera design the same or finally give the car a power open/close trunk OR figure out a way for both. I guess time will tell.... I'm guessing in about 3yrs from now we'll have our answer. Truthfully, I'll be happy without a power trunk if they shave a few hundred pounds of weight by using some of the carbon fiber architecture that's being used on the upcoming 7 series.
