7 Series HUD Change

icecold601 · 01-15-2012, 12:17 PM

Hi, just like to find out about the HUD changes to the BMW range in the UK. From what I understand, March 2011 vehicles and onwards have full colour HUD. Would a 7 Series Built in December 2010 benefit from this too or just miss out?

The car in question, according to its VIN, was built in 2010/12 even though the DVLA website states a 2011 manufacture year. It was only registered in Mid November 2011 and is loaded with options, I'm thinking an ex-demonstrator as it has done less than 20 miles. Why would it have been built so long ago and just left?

Thanks peeps

Color HUD didn't get added to the 7er until March 2011 production. Anything built before 1 March 2011 will have the old HUD (which is still pretty cool -- just not full color).

The Pre-March 2011 HUD has orange, yellow, green and red colors.
