A co-worker of mine just told me that HUD is longer available as an option for the E60 (or any model) due to some lawsuit.

Has anyone heard of this?

No, it has not been on the board! Can you get more specifics? I plan to go out to my dealer tomorrow I will ask him. I wonder what the German word/phrase for Head-Up-Display is <_< Just kidding! He speaks enough English and with my pigeon Deutch things should work out ok. If he has anything I will report tomorrow while you guys are still asleep.

HUD still is showing as available on US BMW site. I wonder if it is so. Have you checked with the sales people at the dealer?

I went out to the German/Military Sales dealer today. I asked about a problem with HUD for 05 e60's. He told me there isn't a problem and they were still in production. He showed my my Ansicht Order with the code for HUD etc 609, 610 he told me at the beginning of production for the new 6 Series there was a problem but they fixed it and kept the production dates. So... I asked him if he could confirm this information. He was surprised to hear this information. He believes it is a problem with the person that misunderstood something.

One bad bit of information on my part. My car is suppose to be built starting Monday has now slipped for delivery to week 47 instead of 46. (possibly due to the Germany holiday Monday) I hope he is wrong on the dates but it does give a two week time period on my print out for delivery. Producktion Week handel 45.11.2004 and Produktion Week Werk 46/11/2004. So... the wait contiunes!!!!!!!!

No, haven't heard that yet...
And I don't think it's stopped...

Anyways... The German word for HUD is... Head-Up-Display... Believe it or not, we don't translate it...
