M235i HUD

shoptb · 01-15-2014, 01:26 PM

The BMW USA website lists one of the model highlights as a full-color head-up display (HUD). However, I don't see this listed in the configuration. Does anyone know which one is accurate?

I believe that's a website error. I've been told that the HUD is definitely not an option on the M235i.

Correct. No HUD.

shoptb · 01-15-2014, 03:28 PM

Damn. That sucks, IMO.

Meh, test drove an f30 today with HUD, wasn't that into it. More of a novelty than anything.

I just replaced my 335i's cracked windshield with HUD for $1200. It's a cool feature but i'll pass on the next one.

Sucks, I don't think HUD is a novelty at all. Very useful with the NAV system.

Yeenoghu · 01-16-2014, 02:10 PM

Yea I would have liked to be able to get it on the m235i. But no luck

If HUD were available as an option, I would pass anyway. Have never seen the value in it, admittedly I have not owned a HUD-equipped car, but have driven one.

My thoughts are if you owned a car with a HUD, you'll miss it. If haven't had one, obviously you won't notice the absence.

I never actually look at the analog speedo anymore. It's fully the HUD.

You are absolutely, 100% correct. When I ordered my car I couldn't really have cared less about it, but now after a year whenever I get into a car without it there is definitely something missing. I never look down at the gauge cluster since the speed is just floating in front of my face, and I don't need the tach since I have that hilarious N20 racket emanating from under the hood.

lol your insurance must love u

shoptb · 01-17-2014, 01:03 PM

Yeah, I wouldn't have cared at all, but a year and a half into my F30 with HUD....it would be difficult to go back to not having it.

Zirenz2006 · 01-17-2014, 03:19 PM

I just don't get why they didn't include it as an option.

Because the 2 series is a lower end car. Same reason you can't get black panel display, ventilated seats, night vision, etc. on a 3 series. Product positioning.
