What Is the BMW Head Up Display?
The BMW Head Up Display is a smart feature that helps you stay focused on the road by showing key information right in your line of sight. Instead of looking down at your instrument cluster or infotainment screen, you can see your speed, navigation, and alerts projected onto your windshield. This makes every drive safer, easier, and more enjoyable.
If you want to try this technology yourself, visit BMW of West Springfield and test drive a BMW model equipped with the Head Up Display. Once you see it in action, you’ll understand why many drivers now consider it a must have feature.
How the BMW Head Up Display Works
Powered by the iDrive controller, the system uses a bright projector to create a clear, high-contrast image on your windshield. Newer BMW models even show this information in full color, making it easy to read in sunlight or at night.
Think of it as your driving companion. It quietly provides the data you need without distracting you or taking your eyes off the road.
What Information Can You See on the BMW Head-Up Display?
You’ll see almost everything you need for daily driving, including:
1. Speed and Road Speed Limits
You can instantly check your speed or view posted speed limits without taking your eyes off the road ahead.
2. Driver Assist Alerts
The system displays lane-keeping, collision, and other safety messages from your driver assistance features.
3. Navigation Directions
Planning a trip to Mystic, CT, Westerly, RI, or Chatham, MA? Your BMW Head Up Display shows turn-by-turn directions, helping you navigate busy highways without checking the center screen.
4. Phone and Call Information
Incoming call details appear right in front of you, making hands-free decisions quick and safe.
And this is only the beginning. BMW continues to improve this system every model year to bring more useful information directly into your view.
