I just did some more testing!
The blue glare IS a reflection of the sun falling into the plastic over the HUD!
When the reflection is visible and you put a piece of paper or something over the hole, the glare disappears and becomes visible again as soon as you take the piece of paper away!

I had a feeling it was the plastic based on my experiences with two things.

First, I believe the "special" windshield is simply a normal windshield with one less layer of plastic so the image isn't doubled. No need for any colored layers, etc.

Second, I've seen the same purple reflection on the iDrive screen so the same type of plastic must be used for that too.

Thanks for confirming everything (with your turntable) Iceman!
