62 30... Notes on Head-Up Display

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 BMW X5, 2017 BMW X5, 2016 BMW X5, 2015 BMW X5, and 2014 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: A special windscreen must be fitted to ensure that the Head-Up Display image can be projected correctly.
This windscreen comprises three sections. An outer and an inner glass pane are connected by a wedge-shaped plastic film.
The wedge shape prevents double projection of the Head-Up Display.
When the windscreen is replaced, the vehicle identification number must be checked via the BMW parts catalogue to ascertain whether the windscreen in question is suitable for HUD. 

Example of the display with a conventional windscreen: 

With a conventional windscreen, the projected image is reflected on the inner and outer glass pane, producing a double image.
