Hello,
For those of you who have the heads up display (HUD) on the windshield:
1) Is it tough on your eyes on a long ride late at night when you're tired?
2) Can it be turned on and off?
thanks,
Dean

My Ride: 2005-12 E60 M5 :: Silverstone :: Silverstone Full Perforated
Most extras bar climate comfort glass, there was even a detachable towbar in the boot weighing me down...what would anyone dream of towing with an M5, except maybe a fellow M5 owner with the Red Cog of Death!?

2) - Yes - it can be turned off but in the 14months I've had my car I've not turned it off once...ok I have tried turning it off just to see what it's like but after a few minutes I miss it and put it back on.
Please bear in mind that I have M5 so I have my HUD permanently showing the M-display (rev counter, gear with speed in small font). When I am going somewhere with sat-nav I change from the M-view to normal view so I have all my directions on HUD and speed is shown in much larger font, which I assume is the only view available on non-M cars(?). It comes as standard on UK M5's but I will definitely order it on any car I get in the future (if available), i feel lost without it when I drive other cars now.

I have had heads up display in the past 2 cars prior to my 535. The orange color of the display is very easy on the eyes. So no fatigue is place on your eyes.
And yes it can be turned off. But I dont see why you would want too.
I cant live with HUD.!
