I think in Europe they get maps from different provider, hence the difference in the graphic.
After using HUD for two weeks, I can say I am underwhelemed by it. It just does not show information I care about to see. |

It has a lot of potential but they don't really do much with it.

It depends if the information for the area is available and if needed.
Here is a youtube video showing a US 5 Series in CA driving with Navigation showing on the HUD. Some bits get just arrows others get the "pictures" HUD shown from around 2:22

I didn't even pay attention to the HUD on the test drive and was totally underwhelmed when I did finally notice it. As far as the nav? Very nice. Unfortunately, I find my iPhone 4S to be as functional with MotionX GPS installed with a great search function. And I don't use nav very often. So $20 in software versus $2,500? duh.....

I dont plan on getting the Tech package when I make my order later in the year. I hardly use the current Navi I have in my E92. I think a Garmin would make more sense.

I'm not impress so far. It kind of strip down version of what you have in the image. I see the MPH, the NAV, but Lane Departure even I turned in on. Not sure it is a bug or just not for US.

That picture also shows speed limit display and the collision warning from Active Cruise Control. The collision warning will also only show if you are being warned So dont think you are missing anything in the USA HUD

The vid above is pretty good, maybe not mind blowing but being able to see simple turn indications in front of you instead of interpreting them from the screen is nice. I think it's worth it. I wouldn't go for the Driver's Assist or Parking stuff but HUD and Nav seem to be good buys.

Now that I have HUD I don't think ill ever want a car without it again. Great feature. And, it needs to be simple but helpful. Is not to detract a driver from looking at the road. On the contrary, its to keep a driver from having to look away from the road. Simpler is better.

Ok, having established that the HUD can display multiple things, here's my question: Can the HUD display have different user memory settings, like say the driver's seat, so when my wife gets in it, she doesn't go nuts 'cause I've got everything displayed, and she only wants the speedometer? Or, do you have to re-configure it every time the wife and I swap driving?
