Glad to hear I'm not alone.

The HUD configuration got me interested. I haven't heard about this option either, but maybe can be configured at the stealership?

Let's get all involved and take a vote. LOL

+1 on the comment above saying that turn signals don't appear on the HUD and can't be configured to do so. I have a 2010 550i with HUD, I'm about 6', and I can't see the turn signals either!

5'11 over here and can't see them either!

Apparently this has nothing to do with height. It's just a design flaw. The seat adjusment is there exactly for the reason of people being various heights. So after you adjust your seat and steering wheel properly to sit safely and comfortably, you're stuck in a field of view where you can't see the blinker indicators (not at all or not well enough in most cases).

I'm 6'1 and my wife is 5'4 and we both can't see it well. This thread ranges from 5'4 - 5'10 to 6'4, so I guess they at BMW were not expecting people to be 4' or 7' driving the 5-series? Just my 2 cents and pure data.

I dunno, I am 5'10" and I have no problem with it. Not tall like some of you that are 6' or over, but someone shorter than me in this thread indicates that he has this issue

I'm 172 cm tall and never had this problem. But then again, the signal 'lights' are for the other cars so I never even bother to look.

All I know is that the lights work 100% if I flick it (3 blinks) or if I hard-turn it.

But yeah... they're placed where it's not obvious...

I noticed the same thing as well, but "major design flaw"? I think that may exagerating just a bit. No?

For what it's worth, can't see them on my new M3 either...
