Some m5board members started discussing the how-to of DIY HUD adjustment. Then Turner Motorsports posted this link to a photo/word how-to. I may give it a try soon

Hey cobradav -- how's the high-speed net access treating you?

I could use google earth for the first time so all and all I'm pleased. Still would have liked to get on a cable or DSL system for the even better performance, but this will do until one or the other comes along.

Glad you're happy with your bandwidth upgrade. Maybe someday you'll be able to surf as fast as me (http://forums.e60.net/index.php?s=&showtop...ndpost&p=170241) but hey, you're car is faster than mine -- we have to keep our priorities straight, right?

Thanks for posting and combining the links Cobradav and Rudy!
Have any of you tried this yet? I read the pdf that Rudy provided and for the height adjustment procedure, it says "Correct height adjustment by turning eccentric" What do they mean by "eccentric"?
And on the Turner Motorsport instructions, it says "...check the tilt with the cable..." What cable do they mean because there is no cable associated with the height adjustment, only the side-to-side adjustment.
Thanks in advance.
