The side view cameras are the ones that are up in front of the front wheels. They are used to activate a side view camera that allows you to see left/right when pulling out of a garage (at least per BMW - in the real world, I can't seem to find any use for them). On the 2012 X6M they are a $300 stand alone option. On the 2012 X6 50/35 they are part of the Tech Package.
I believe you are talking about the rear view camera with top view where two cameras located in the mirrors point down along with the camera on the hatch to give what appears to be a top down view. Not only very cool, but very useful.
