2012 7 HUD

does anyone know if the 2012 7's have had their HUD upgraded to the full color ones like the 6 and 5 have?

@TheBry: Are you sure it was the updated full color HUD or are you just referring to the HUD looking sweet?
The HUD so far displayed amber (orange), red, yellow and green colors. The new one is supposed to have more colors.

It's the full color HUD. For example, the speed indicator is now a blue-ish white color during the day, and amber at night (when headlamps are on). Also, the new HUD shows better graphical representation of interchanges, lanes, etc. when using NAV. I was test driving the car on highway 280 here in NorCal, and the NAV (in HUD) showed which lane I was supposed to be in to exit, etc. Very cool.

BTW - I just ordered my 2012 740Li and have been given an ED date of 13 September! w00t!

@TheBry: I just received confirmation that as of 03/11 the MY2012 has the new (full color) HUD but still has the halogen corona rings (angel eyes)...

Yup. I must be the only one on this board who doesn't give a crap about the lack of LED 'angel eyes' on the 7. The car's still going to be amazing and I cannot wait to take delivery!
