Retro fit heads up display?
One of the few extras my 328gt does not have is the heads up display - somebody had ordered it with pretty much every extra and also had £900 of valeting undertaken...... And then couldn't get finance...... Their loss was my gain🤑
I enquired of the dealer whether the heads up unit was available as retro fit and was told it needed a different dash board and was a massive job. I have noticed that bmw kits are now popping up for sale....... Does anyone know how easy/hard/impossible it is to install? Looking at the pictures it looks like it may not be that difficult? Maybe a software change? Any knowledge welcome, thank you👍 http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-3-series...813?nav=SEARCH |

If you haven't considered other options, I'd suggest you take a look at
(a) Garmin HUD+ (relatively poor choice, but ok for a make-do option) .. and better still.. (b) Navdy On the looks of it, Navdy looks so cool, I am considering it installing it in replacement for the in-built HUD I already have.. I am waiting for it to start selling though. |

The Navdy is innovative and interesting....... But to be honest the connectivity with text messages and similar scares the crap out of me...... How distracting is that? Already enough idiots on the road that don't need to be distracted even more......

There price is steep and concerns about texting are genuine. But if you know how to take care of yourself, this is a cool product. Especially with gesture control et al. Stuff of the BMW 7-series. |

Well my local main dealer has quoted £400 including parts, labour and vat to install one of these into my 328gt....... less than I was expecting so double checking the price of the unit itself is included before booking.....
