polarized glasses problem
I really hope that BMW finally fixes the polarized glasses problem with their center stack. It's such an annoyance on the current cars and it really should be an easy fix considering that many other car manfacturers are able to work around this issue, I don't see why BMW can resolve this issue for the upcoming F30. Here's to hoping this issue is resolved.

sorry to say then, but you might have been ripped off because this is a well document complaint from current e90/91/92/93 owners. You may want to take your glasses back from wherever you bought them because if you're not having this issue, then you def don't have polarized glasses.

As MassBimmer mentioned, the easiest fix is with polarized film, like the sheets used for making transparencies in copiers. Simply cut one of these sheets to fit the screen and place over it; the radio will then be readable with both polarized and non-polarized lenses.
That's our best solution until BMW addresses it at the manufacturing level. |

I think they've already resolved the problem. I have the problem on my car, but my kid's 2010 car doesn't.
I could be wrong, though; her car has nav, so I don't know, now that I think about it, that one even looks at areas that are affected by the problem. Sorry for possibly speaking too soon.

Whilst the all F30s are to have a colour display, which will be unaffected by the issue; there will still be a display for the temperatures and fan settings for the climate control, these appear have a display which is similar or possibly the same as the aforementioned problematic displays. So there could still be a issue especially give the fact that you are more likely to be adjusting the air conditioning on days that you are also wearing your sunglasses!

Yes my car has Navi so I don't have the radio viewing issues you guys are having. I can read all the LCD displays fine in my car (between the speedo / tach and on the climate control fine)
