HUD not working ?
Anyone have a clue on this one, just don't want to drop it off at the dealer again. Nothing else seems wrong , everything is selected to be on looking at the HUD settings.

2006 e60 M5.

I was just going to say the same thing. I embarrassed myself with this 2 minutes after taking delivery of mine.

Even with an SMG, you can still feel the shame of popping the clutch on the way home...

there have been 2 times i thought my HUD wasnt working... once the button was off...duh... the other was when i was wearing a really good pair of sunglasses. If u are wearing expensive shades that really block all UV rays, you cant see the HUD, it blocks it out.
