BMW Head-Up Display.

You’re driving at 100 km/h on the motorway, and you glance at the speedometer to check your speed. Of course, it was only a quick look – but, in reality, you just drove 28 metres without seeing the road ahead. A lot can happen within 28 metres. Unless you have an eye on everything at the same time: like you can with the Head-Up Display from BMW ConnectedDrive.

Your BMW doesn’t have wings, and it can’t get you where you are going at supersonic speeds. Nevertheless, your cockpit has something that jet pilots have in front of them every day: a Head-Up Display that shows you all the essential information in your direct line of sight. Speed, navigation, collision warning and control messages: while you keep your eyes on the road, all relevant driving information are displayed on your windscreen by optical projection. This is not only particularly easy to read but, in most BMW models, also in full colour. The virtual image of the Head-Up Display is projected onto the windscreen in a format of approx. 18 × 10 cm in the lower section of your field of view – for you, as an observer, the information displayed appears to hover over the bonnet. Of course, all details are perfectly visible under all lighting conditions and can be adjusted to a height to suit your particular needs, too.

A piece of technology that guarantees significantly increased safety on the road. What’s more, as your eyes no longer have to adjust from close to distance viewing, it also cuts down driving stress and ensures a much more comfortable drive. Stay eye to eye with every situation: with the Head-Up Display from BMW ConnectedDrive.
