M235i HUD
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?

Correct. No HUD.

Damn. That sucks, IMO.

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

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.

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.

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.
