Yes, on ebay there are many HUD central unit ... I asked to the technician to the dealer and he answer me "It's simpler buy another 5 with HUD ..." .

I : "You mean it's too expensive ?"
He : "yes, I would have to replace many parts"


Instead imho it should be possible ...

New wiring, new and different windshield for seeing the HUD and that is a min of 3-4000? I paid 1000? when ordered, and even w/o the NAV, cool and safe, keeps me on long journeys concentrated (Yeah M5s even more cool). VDO made a survey once so they may come out with even newer and cooler stuff in the future on the HUD.

Yep.
Everything is possible.

But a replacement of the windshield, the dashboard and the wiring with the controllers...
It's easier to buy a new car... and cheaper, probably.

ATS, somebody should have to calculate the price of this retrofitting, included work .

hardly seems worth it does it?

you would be in for a reprogramming charge, and i suspect it might void your warranty, all that tampering.

cheers

2000 for parts, plus labour...





I know that you wouldn't be able to get any price in that range over here. And you NEED a BMW dealer for it, since you need programming.
