Head-Up Display blurry/ghosting picture
Hi,
I took delivery of my new F30 yesterday and the Head-Up Display looks odd. The picture is blurry, not sharp at all, it seems to be showing ghosting. I don't think this is normal. I tried all the adjustment settings but to no avail. Any thoughts what I could check before I bring it back to the dealer? Thanks |

I hope this doesn't sound sarcastic, but did you try to clean the area on the windscreen where the HUD image is reflected with a microfiber or other lint free cloth?

I was wondering if the 'projector' part of the HUD comes from the factory with a plastic film over it for protection and the dealer hadn't removed it?

I checked for a protection film but there is none. And yes, the windshield is clean (new car).
I read somewhere that the front window glas needs to have a special film inbetween the two glass plates to prevent ghosting images. Maybe I have the wrong glass in my window. I guess I will have to talk to the dealer. |

I am not wearing any sunglasses. I wear normal glasses but they are not polarized. And taking them off doesn't make any difference.

I guess you've already tried adjusting the height and rotation of the display via iDrive? Moving the projector might pop it back into focus. If not, sounds like a dealer visit but I'd be surprised if BMW Q.A. would have let through a HUD equipped car with the wrong windscreen glass (although stranger things have happened).
