Where did you mount your rear facing dash cam?

Hi all, curious for your F10 sedans where did you place the rear dash cam?

Up near the brake light? Low by the parcel shelf? Any pros/cons from your experience?

Thanks!

By the brake light. Too low and you lose the license plates. I'd rather have a minor blind spot in the video in the high corner.

Thanks, is it literally next to the brake light? Any light bleed issues when brake light is on?

Yea, it's to the left of it. As far as I remember, no, but I'll double check the footage.

Here's a screencap of rear cam with the third brake light on. Nothing too blown out.

Is this the BMW dash cam? Is the BMW one much better than a 3rd party?
