I think the F80 is definitely a step up from the E9X ///Ms. If I were to track more often, I definitely would consider getting one, but I'm a lowly govt employee and cant afford both it and an M5. My wife much prefers her x-drive to speed. The one thing I will say... I highly recommend sitting in the seats. They are much different from the F30 seats, the E90 //M seats, or the F10 M5 seats. They really kind of felt like my old E30 Recaro seats. If you are much over about 200lbs (Im 6'00" and 200lb) they might feel tight. Of course this was at a car show where every 5 year old pushed every single button so YMMV. Cheers.

Must have, I would probably be buying an m235i by now if the M4 didn't have a sport HUD offered

The wife's X5 has HUD and it actually is really nice. Yes is sucks that Polarized Sunglasses makes the HUD almost inadvisable but so does 1/2 the LCD displays in my car. Here are the advantages that our family likes with the HUD. These may be weak examples but they are beneficial to our use.
1) It greatly reduces the amount of looking down at the gauges for speed reference. Like some of you out there, We have a tendency to drive faster than the speed limit on main roads and highways (NEVER SPEED IN NEIGHBORHOODS) Having the HUD actually makes us slow down a bit because it is more obvious. 2) When Using the navigation, it is nice because the Nav screen always displays the map and the HUD displays your distance and arrows to next turn. This is really useful on road trips with the kids. They are always asking how far/how long till we get to point X, usually I simply state what is in the HUD. 3) Warning messages. We all know the feeling when the dreaded "BMW BING" occurs. Messages are displayed in the HUD which prevents you from having to start frantically looking down for what the message is and you can easily evaluate what the message is and react accordingly. This may be trivial but when your doing 80mph on the Highway and the error message appears, there is less eyes off the road.

That scares me. What if your windshield cracks and you have to replace it? I'm not sure it will be covered by warranty and it may be quite costly.

It's OEM... not that much difference in price AFAIK... standard insurance coverage depending on state

I for one has only had 1 window crack(back in high school) and the then 1-2 rock chips which I had filled w/ no issue. 21 years of driving and 1 cracked window. To me those are pretty good odds. If your one who has had many broken windshields the. It may be a concern.

I like the antique HUD on the E60 M5. The F8x M has color and more detail. I want it, so I don't have to take my eyes off the road to see the instruments.

And on the W204 C63, there is no HUD. On the W205 C-Class (including the W205 C63), HUD will be available. I've actually gotten a sneak peek at MB's new HUD and it could prove to be very versatile/configurable.
