WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive, 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive, 2015 BMW 750i xDrive, 2015 BMW 750Li xDrive, and 2015 BMW 740Li xDrive. 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 and parts catalogue must be consulted to ascertain whether the windscreen in question is suitable for Head-Up Display.

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.
