5 Series E60 535xi (N54) SAL
Benefits of the head-up display:
-
Important information relevant to driving the vehicle can be received without the driver having to take his eyes off
the road.
-
This makes driving more relaxing. The eyes do not have to refocus as much or as frequently (i.e. when the
eyes move from a wide view of the road to a small display in the instrument cluster).
The head-up display is employed for the first time as special equipment (option 610) on the E60.
Launch date is 11/2003.
The HUD of the E60 is identical to that of the E61.
The windscreens on the E63 and E64 are tilted more. The following modifications related to the HUD are therefore
required for the E63/E64:
-
Modified mirror set
-
Modified integration into the instrument panel
The HUD in the E70 differs from the HUD in E60, E61, E63, E64 in the following respects:
-
2 mirrors instead of 4 mirrors
-
Image orientation of the virtual image can be height-adjusted
-
Head-up display can be adjusted without an adjustment tool (with BMW BMW diagnosis system).
