Thank you all for your advise and comments.
BTW, did you run the last 7 digits of your VIN through one of the online VIN decoders to see how your car is optioned? If not, it would tell you if the camera was installed. It would be option code "S3AGA Reversing Camera".

What's your last 7 VIN digits...we can decode it to see if you haven't yet?

Will ask again...the mystery can be solved if you decode your VIN...do you have option code S3AGA Reversing Camera listed? Based on the pic...no...but what if the camera was removed due to some other occurrence we don't know about...like a trunk lid replacement?

It doesn't appear on the USA side of the part database...but if you look on the Euro side...there is a retrofit rear camera "kit". You select the part number based on how your car is optioned...then the kit will come with the parts you need for a successful install.

If you do go this route...you can order from the Euro side of the part database from any BMW dealership. If you look up the number first, you'll need to let the counter person in the parts department know that you got then number from the Euro side of the database.

I'm curious why this particular 2019 BMW model does have it. I would actually complain to BMWUSA, point to the law and see if they'll retrofit one for free.
I think they owe you a 2020 850.

yep agreed. The 640 is no longer produced. The replacement today is only the 850.

off topic aint it crazy that a decently loaded 19' 640 can get really expensively close to a m850i. I picked up a 15 and cant believe how the 18' and up are going for 80k plus..
