HUD Too Low?

Does anyone else think that the HUD is too low, even at the maximum height? It's definitely lower than other cars I've had or driven with HUD (including my previous E63 650i) and the F10 5 series.

Not super low but the same height as I do in the other vehicles that have had HUD. Even when I move the seat higher it still seems lower than previous generations.

It’s the same level for top of screen it’s a bigger hud than last generation so it stretches down lower.

I felt the same way, went into settings yesterday and was surprised to see it was at maximum height already. My seat is set low since I don't like high seat height but then I am also not at the lowest seating either.

Well, I guess it's good that it isn't just an issue with my car. When I test drove the M340i it didn't have HUD, I just expected it to be like the last one. It's fine except that the speed is usually cut in half for me

I would get with the dealer to see if there is an alignment issue because I could not get my seat low enough to not see the HUD at its highest position.

I agree, I was surprised it was not in a higher location. Can anyone please tell us a quick way to find it in iDrive? Thanks!

If you go to the top menu in iDrive its under Displays -> Head up Display and you can adjust the height, but even at the max height I think its too low. I wonder if there is a way to code it to display higher.

Thanks so much I would have been looking in the wrong places all day.
