I want a camera on the bumpers to help park

I have a difficult time parking my 2012 Z4. I can't judge when to stop before hitting the curb or tire stop which is always taller than the bottom of my car.
When I open the door to look out of the car to see the curb, the car automatically goes into park.
I want to install a camera in front and back to see the curbs and see it on my info/map screen. Say it takes over the screen when I put in reverse like a back up camera and the front comes on when going slower than 3 mph.
Any way to accomplish this?

A bit oot, but at 0:51 in the video above you can see two odd things... one is the hazard lights symbol in the shifter, and another is a white bin on the left of the transmission tunnel. Wondering about those...
