Accessing front camera view quicker?
Is there a easier way to enable the front camera when pulling into a parking spot that has a curb? I always see myself going into reverse first to activate the 360 cameras, then back into drive. Kinda of looks goofy, and sometimes a inconvenient. Would be nice if there was a quick access button to turn this on like the BMW M5 has.

EDIT - I see you meant front camera, looks like if you are in drive or park it will show the front cam.

Yup, as mentioned above just push and hold the system button to the left of volume. The other way they said above is the second quickest way. This is one push 360cam access which is nice when you’re pulling into a parking spot and want it up quick.

Hoping for dashcam activation on the 2021's. Not an option in US but hopefully they are working on coding a purchased unlock. I helped a friend order a GLB and he was able to order dashcam on GLB.

Thanks.
The camera can be brought up while moving slowly (not sure what speed this option is locked out), but as I approach my parking spot can hit the button and have the front camera image pop up
VERY helpful and easily done without fiddling with the knob which was how I did it before this great thread
As mentioned in my 2015 E63s the button to push is the SYS button.

No problem!
I didn't know about the holding the button down option. Thanks to whoever brought this up. I tried it out today. It splits your center screen up in 3 vs the method I suggested only displays front view. I found it a bit distracting to have the sides included in the screen as oppose to only viewing the front. This is definitely personal preference, of course.

Holding down SYS button for ~5 secs
Tapping SYS and then using knob to navigate to 360 view. I def. like the bird's eye for reference as opposed to the 3 way split view
And since I don't regularly drive my car and I had doubts about that "vehicle button"... mine doesn't have it.
Cheers, guys.
