BMW head-up display can be set up by following these steps: 1. Click on Settings in the central control screen; 2. Click on Vehicle; 3. Select Parallel Display under Display Options; 4. You can choose to turn the display function on or off. Taking the 2021 BMW X1 Fashion model as an example, it is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4565mm in length, 1821mm in width, and 1620mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm. The 2021 BMW X1 Fashion model is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 103 kW and a maximum torque of 220 Nm.
When I first got my BMW 5 Series, the HUD settings were a bit confusing, but I figured it out after some exploration. First, start the iDrive system in the car, rotate the central control knob to 'Vehicle Settings,' then select 'Display' or a similar option. Once you find the HUD section, you can adjust the brightness and height: set the brightness to a comfortable level for day and night driving, and adjust the height while seated in the driver's position to align the projection comfortably on the windshield. After setup, the display shows speed, navigation prompts, and more—super handy! I often drive on highways, and not having to glance down at the instrument cluster greatly enhances safety. Remember to do a simple calibration during initialization; the system will prompt you to confirm the position. BMW's HUD design is very user-friendly, and you'll get used to it in a few days. If you run into issues, check the owner's manual or consult the dealer. In short, don’t be intimidated—just take it step by step.
