Could I retrofit a right hand HUD for my passenger on my left hand drive car?

You don't need the new windshield, it work fine on your current windshield but the display won't be as bright as the factory installed one. I have add a HUD system to my corvette and it's work fine.
But i don't recommend doing it with BMW because of the electronic and software update involved.
With the vette was easy, just cut the dashboard, place the HUD on place, plug the wire and ready to go.

Guys
I have the chance to buy a used HUD and was wondering what process was required to fit it. Is it a major job or is everything there for me and BMW can connect some wires etc?
Cheers Paul

Changing the subject slightly but the cheapest HUD I've seen was ?60 a go and I last used it whilst driving toward Quatt at 77mph in 60mph limit, sort of gun shape with a handle and an officer plod attached to it! Keep an eye out!
