I may be in the minority, but I do not miss the HUD, and I'm glad I didn't get it. I have it in the X5 M, but I tend to look way ahead of the car so I can get a better read on traffic, and my focal point is way beyond the HUD display most of the time.
It is handy for a quick check of your speed, but with the seating position in the M3 vs. the X5, that's not as much of an issue. The line of sight to the cluster is perfect, instead of an actual glance down.

I find sat nav instructions in HUD the coolest tech feature of the car by far. Sure, I didn't buy an M4 to follow sat nav around the city, but I was really impressed how well it works in practice.

I thought I would miss that feature from the X5, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the same information is displayed in the instrument cluster of the non HUD cars.

100 percent agree! Nav on HUD is the best especially combined with voice. No margin for error

SA did it during drop off (along with a million other things, like set the HK sound equalizer, etc, etc etc) so I will have to play around and find it. Will post back when I figure it out.

To add to this thread, my HUD screen just got a big dead pixel or a group of them that is a blaring white dot on the screen to the right of the speed. Its a big white spot in the middle of an otherwise "clear" area. Its so distracting I turned the HUD off entirely, and I really don't miss it.
It has now been off for a total of 2 weeks. When you turn it off the navigation still shows in the dash so its really not that big of a difference. Also, the music menu stuff shows in the same spot, so you just have to look down to the speedo/tach and not all around the car, which is just marginally more distracting then focusing close on the HUD. I have no intention of putting in a service request until my scheduled 10k service as I really don't miss the HUD, and I'll just have the thing replaced at that time. If anyone else has a pixel burnout or anything like that on their HUD then definitely keep us posted. I wouldn't call it a flaw or anything, these things happen with LED and LCD screens all the time and I'm sure its going to be covered under warranty.

It's in iDrive - which takes about 2 minutes to click through end-to-end. Are you not finding it in your iDrive menu?

For tilt, no. Have you actually found it, can you post how, I don't see it. Not near my car where I can turn the manual upside down for the info, but as my previous post, in the Hud area I see some parameters but not something that represents "tilt".

It's called rotation. It's under the HUD settings menu, right next to brightness and height.

I have not seen where in Idrive this can be adjusted. ....and I can see the Hud with polarised lenses, but just barely. Take them off and it's clear and vibrant. |

Hey guys, on a somewhat related note, is there a button on the steering wheel or dash to switch between the different HUD displays? I know I can switch it in the iDrive, but I am wondering if there the right or left track-wheel can be used to switch between M View, Navigation etc. I just got my car, less than 40 miles on it, so it's a newbie question.

You can program different views to M1 and M2 buttons, so if one of them is set to standard and the other one to M View, then you can switch between them using the steering wheel. This will also change your other settings for suspension etc. however.

I didn't make that claim, and it doesn't make any sense to me, so I was just answering the "how do you rotate" it question. Polarized light is not going to change if it's tilted top to bottom. Just the nature of polarization. I can't see how some kind of rotation is going to get around the issue. What I would like to know, however, is how the GM HUD (full color) in the Caddy CTS is COMPLETELY visible through my polarized Costas, but the BMW one is not. |
