(of course I also wish they would finally put in HUD in there as an option, but alas, not yet).
Its not that BMW is choosing not to offer it..The 2'er dash is too small for HUD...Unless there is some new generation hardware or the dash is re-configured, HUD won't physically fit in a 2.
This is absolutely not true. There is pretty much absolutely nothing underneath the nacelle/behind the gauges, and as anyone who's installed a P3 gauge can tell you, there are heaps of open spaces between the dash and the bulkhead on the driver's side.

Space is not the reason A HUD isn't offered; economics is.
