Any way to get a better view of the front camera?

So I almost always back up into a parking stall/area to avoid any front fascia damage. But tonight I was rather rushed by incoming cars so I just went head in. Is there a better view than this to see the curb in the front? On my E63S I could literally see the curb so well I could park inches from it if I pressed.

I have screwed around with the camera and just can not seem to find a proper view. As I approached the curb the front view was clear and straight ahead but then it changed and this clearly doesnt help me see where the curb is. Of course I aired on the side of caution and stopped short LOL.

On top view, click on the car switch the camera to front or side view and over gesture control move the car around.
Not sure if I explain good, I will try to find a video

I did that too but the views are not ideal... its not a deal breaker of course but I just was hoping for a better picture.

Thanks though.

It basically shows the front or the car looking strait downward at the grill.. it also shows you how to align your front wheels for the trolleys in a drive up car wash so you don’t scratch up you wheels driving in
