Yup it is sweet.

... it would probably be cheaper to trade your car in for a car with this installed from the factory. They would have to cut a huge hole in your dash to put in the projector, change the windsheild, and then all the i-Drive reprogramming. More headache and cost than what it is worth.

Yeah it has a special coating which prevents you from seeing a "ghosted" image on the screen.

But what about the new iDrive software, can you upgrade an LCI E60 with this new software?

No, the hardware is different (both the monitor and the computer). Not sure if it can be retrofitted.
