My wife is very distubed over the HUD and I talking to each other. She insists that there is nobody there, but I respond, well how could I know all this great information unless I got it from someone She has NEVER been in the drivers seat.

I always have to say to ppl when they want to SEE the car (no driving here either ) to look at the projection, what is that? Oh that is just HUD from BMW...I luv it.

It floats over the bonnet and looks more as if it's projected on the road. The image is only visible to the driver and not to anyone else -- inside or outside of the car.
It should be noted that HUD does NOT work when you drive with polarized sunglasses

Which is precisely why there's another FAQ thread about that subject...

Picture enclosed... I actually stopped so I could get it without distortion or shake. And BTW, my map is pretty up to date 'cause this particular roundabout/traffic circle is less than a year old. My TomTom navigator doesn't have it.

Mine is too low for me in my normal driving position, and yes i was told its not adjustable.
It seems a bit labor intensive to adjust which is why i guess they tell us they can't.

I definitely would want to adjust the HUD so that the image is projected to a higher position so I can SIT LOWER. (Lower Center of Gravity, doesn't look like an old nanny with the seat all the way up)

Anyluck guys?
