HUD - does your BMW come with it?

[Jacky]

just want to have an idea of the BMW local community and % of bimmers with HUD.

personally, i think this is the coolest part of owning a BMW among other reasons.
I used to drive a 6 with HUD and now i am driving an Audi.

I am trying to get a 7 series now but all the ex-stock at PML do not have this option. The wait for a HUD version will be late May/Early June.

i am a tech geek so maybe this works for me. just my 2 cents.

Also, any thread on X6? the search engine cannot really search a 2 letter word ...

I need a HUD too. Everytime I look 'down' at my speedo or gear indicator, I have a tendency to continue looking until I risk ramming into some matachia in front.

I am still keeping my 525 with HUD and loved it so much that I wish every car comes with one. I also wish it has more display features such as the gear ratio you are on when driving with manual select. I was thinking of selling the car (3 years) since I recently bought an Audi. But the price of car plunged so much that I find it unrealistic to sell now. I suppose I will have a few years more with the 5.

Re: HUD - does your BMW come with it?

IMO HUD is a double edged sword. Last i saw on an M, it warns you when to shift gear, kinda like the lights on the E92 M3 steering. To me that helps... if you track...
But could be dangerous if you keep staring at the navi displayed on it.
It certainly does show your current speed but what for?? Quick glance at your speedo tells you the same, not as though you speed all the time, and when you do, you'd rather be looking out for red/blue lights!!
