The HUD is very difficult to photograph. I have one in 5 series and you can see it only from a direct angle. Only the driver sees the HUD. These promotional photos are completely fabricated.

From my experience BMW's HUD is the greatest feature of all. Very useful. The speedometer helps drastically, you don't need to shift eyes from the road. Much safer driving.

FWIW, I think the first photo in the story is real (it was taken by our writer). I assume he held the camera right in front of his face :)
