One of the all time Top 3 options IMO.
It states all of the above plus when the temp hits 3C you get a snowflake / warning which I quite like.
Great option have it on my 650i cab & X5 4.8i :thumbup:

Be sure to order the HUD option that lets you get sports scores and stock prices on it!

Seriously, I found the HUD much more useful than I expected.

The ONLY thing I don't like about HUD is that there is no way to display my Valentine 1 arrows on it. That's a mod that I'm waiting for!!!

I highly recommend HUD.

Eurotek Designs does modifications to your mirror to integrate the V1.

We've ordered this option on my wife's 4.8i and I'm just worried that I'll blurt out "Yee ha! Jester's dead!" when I'm behind the wheel... :-)

I have it. and I love it . It display all the info you need to keep your eye on the road. ( Speed, Criuse Speed, Nav, Warming info. It does take awhile to get use to it.

Once you have it you will never going back to the dashboard for info.

But the windshield replacement would cost about $1000 as I was told. Because it is a double layer glass.

I feel the Head up Display in the M5 for example is more informative and looks nicer. It tells you what gear your in and also the RPM in graphical form. I asked my service manager if he could program my HUD to look the same but apparently it cannot be done.

There is one option that I would have really liked to be available in the X5 and that is the Night Vision.

$1000 for a windshield - that's what I'd be afraid of. I too wish it would have more information. Not that it's in the same league, but the Corvette HUDs have tach, speed, lateral g, fuel, etc. Then you may be getting to the point of being more distracting. I'm an F-15E pilot and HUDs are a godsend - it'd be cool to have one in my car too. Alas, I think I'll pass on it. Now I'm going to read the thread about the Premium HiFi and decide on ordering that... Decisions, decisions.

Not sure what point you're making here. I don't plan to replace my windshield and, with what this car costs, that premium over regular glass (:dunno: $300?) does not seem that it should be a concern.

In 37 years and some 25 new vehicles I have only ever replaced one windscreen and that was 25 years ago.

My insurance cost is only $1,200AUD a year, so if I have to buy a new screen I am still miles ahead.
