There is a service procedure (see attachment below) that can adjust the HUD level. My understanding is that it can only be moved an inch or two but that might be enough. I have no problems with the height of mine but my wife does so I'm getting mine adjusted next week along with the upgrade to Progman 25.0.

Good luck.

Is your car a 2008? I seem to remember (or I dreamed it) that in the newer cars, the HUD is height-adjustable via the iDrive settings...

Did I dream that?

I honestly can't remember if I saw it here or not and I'm just too busy to search it right now -- someone else has to be able to confirm/deny this, right?
