I got my 530 about a month ago and have virtually no complaints (I love the car), but I noticed that the HUD display shows the speed in mph at the bottom of the rectangular window, and in normal driving position (for me), the vision of part of the speed display gets cut off unless I lift my head a few degrees more than where I normally would be comfortable. I tried adjusting the seat height, but it is about as high as I can set it and remain in a comfortable driving position, so that won't fix the problem.

Does anyone know if the dealer can adjust the projector so that the image on the windshield can be raised or lowered a slight amount to avoid this problem?

It?s not a problem for me ( 6?3" ), but what I?ve heard it?s gonnna be a big problem for BMW with all the complaints from people not able to adjust the HUD ,so they actually can see it!

I assumed it was connected to not being as tall as BMW wants me to be. I am 5' 7", and it is annoying that I cannot adjust the view so that the display appears where I want it to.
