I have just ordered a new facelifted 535d.
My options are: M Sport pack, full leather, heated seats, Comms package, lights package, electric side mirrors, rear electric blind, through loading, Spaeker system and tinted windows.
The question is: what about HUD? Is this worth ?900, or is it just a gadget that costs alot but doesn't get used?
Any views would be appreciated.

Forgot to mention: car is Space Grey with a black leather interior. I have opted for what they call 'Bamboo Anthracite' for the trim.
We are all looking forward to your first pictures!
When do you expect to take delivery of the car?

My Ride: F02 LCI Individual
Model Year: 2013
My wife didn't liked the idea of the HUD and only let me order it, because it can be switched off...
Guess what... She is allways driving with it and doesn't even notice that she uses it. She allways knows how fast she is without looking down on the speedo.
I would never want a car without it anymore.
Worth every cent!

It's a great option and even better when paired with the NAV system and the Active Cruise Control. This is the first car I've had with NAV and I'll never get one without it in the future.
