Sorry to hear about that....but I remember reading an article about how expensive the windshields are for the BMW's with HUD.

As you already found out, for HUD to work, BMW had to make a special windshield which probably costs 3 times as much as the non-HUD BMW windshield. Plus, almost all BMWs have infra-red sensor for the automatic headlights/windshield wipers up where the rear-view mirror sits.

I am sure there are no aftermarket HUD windshield.

Good luck.
