Just been to see a new G29 and there's no heads up display. I thought the HUD was standard. Have they dropped it due to shortages or am I mistaken that it was standard?

    That's interesting..... I bought what I thought was a bog standard one year old 2.0 nearly two years ago and it has Harman Kardon speakers and HUD. What else was in the technology Pack? Maybe I have the technology pack and don't know it!

      I have an M40i with technology pack. I think it contained the HUD, HK music system and rear parking camera.

      I get it.... I bought my first G29 and didn't realise that it had the technology pack. Thanks for clarifying this.

        I wear prescription sunglasses and when I had the HUD in my 4 series the glasses made it completely invisible! It was bloody annoying. We have another car with HUD (not a BM) and that is fine with my SGs. :?
        All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

        Good question, about sunglasses etc..

        Just wondering if wearing polorized sunglasses can affect seeing the HUD and or the instrument display.?

        I used to have some in a previous car , and i had difficulty in seeing certain read outs..

        PS i dont currently have any polorized glasses, but am contemplating getting some....

        I don’t use polarised sunglasses in my g29 because I am unable to properly read the regular and head up displays with them on. I have an old pair of non polarised sunglasses that I keep in the car for use when it is sunny.

        In the US, the HUD was only available on the M40i in the '22 model year but has returned as an option on all '23 models.

        The manual confirms you can 'tilt' the headup display which keeps it visible even for polarised glasses. I was out in the motor yesterday (with polarised glasses on) and to be fair I can't even recall if the headsup was still visible!!
