I have an aliexpress version on my e70 and e90. It works just fine and is well hidden.

It only supports 32gb cards though. I got the front and rear cameras. Make sure you get the one that matches your rear view mirror housing style, there are a few over the years for e70/f20/e90/etc


The rear can mount the license plate light if you buy that housing (there are 2-3 versions of these).

I think this driver side one is the better light shell because it is more sealed:

The passenger side one is open on one side. On the e90 I use both (one for the backup camera, one for the DVR, both have to be fisheye cameras on it or it is too low though so I had to do some hacking to make a different camera work than the one that comes with the DVR)

Note how this one is open, I sealed mine with some electronics safe silicone. The light doesn't plug right in like the first one either so you have to splice it in or add a connector. I also had to trim the tabs a bit with a utility knife on it because the metal is too thick and it doesn't click in. So the driver side one is just better...
