Wouldn't you agree?

Honestly I have never had a dash cam before but 99.999999% of my daily driving is pretty boring and incidental. Meaning most of what ever is recorded I will NEVER want to watch. If you need save and keep days worth of driving videos then a bigger card will be better but 32GB will give most of us what we need.
Dash Cams only become important when the catch that 0.000001% moment when an accident happens. And most kits stop looping data and locks the accident file on the card. You can also lock and store video chunks you do not want over written.
I paid $12 for my 32GB card at Best Buy and if I find I need more space then I will either try out a bigger card (I still don't understand why the seller said it couldn't take a bigger size card?) or buy a couple of 32GB cards and swap them out.

It records all the time by default once car is on, engine has started and car is in motion. You have the option to turn that off and only have it record when you want.

The only thing is the mirror housing must match up. So Check to see if the Parts Number for mirror rain sensor housings are the same between E92 (coupes) and E90/E91 (sedans/wagons).
Also the dome lighting panel parts number should match as well since this is getting the plug and play power from the dome lighting panel.
