So it was a logical step to exploit the potential of the high beam using intelligent technology in order to provide relief for the driver. "

What intellegent technology are they talking about? The IR? The cool thing which I actually find more useful than IR is the system that turns itselves on and off automatically on the 7er. Not to say that I wouldn't want the IR, but high beam has been enough for me so it's nice to have that new invention. Is it available on the S?

Driving in the snow blizzard this morning, for some reason I wondered how useful would either Night Vision systems be in the snow. I mean I couldn’t really see anything – zero visibility. Would be really interesting to find out.

Yep, record-breaking 26.9 inches. I know some of you get more than that, but this is the most we've ever had around here.

I stayed at home all day after I went for a drive in the morning. I only went outside to get some food. Lots of snow, and it's a sunday, so most sidewalks are not cleared.

Don't you guys get like feet of snow up there in the Buffalo area?

You have got a lot of snow there!

In the UK we have had hardly any this winter!

Although night vision isn't useful all the time, it may be the difference between having an accident and not having one, so I think it's useful, but only in certain situations!
