BMW OEM hud retrofit now available
I guess this things available for purchase now... at least through this ebay vendor. Anybody getting one of these? Seems kinda pricey.

Over the years I have noticed that eBay seller is usually overpriced. It may be cheaper elsewhere.

This is pretty cool. I'd be kinda interested in looking into this. I wonder what type of modifications are required to the dash though. I thought these things were mounted in a recessed area of the dash, no? |

Anyway I've heard this thing sucks, and it doesn't even integrate with your factory navi. This is an accessory not a retrofit.

That thing looks so freaking cheap. How BMW could even think that lives up to their name and standards I will never understand.
Anyway, its $381 from FCPEuro. |

OEM as in original equipment? At least that's how I interpreted it but after looking at the definition for OEM... I imagine lots of people would be confused.
Regardless, the point I guess I was trying to make is officially licensed BMW product.

Hmmm.. that part number (62302361627) doesn't come up in the two biggest BMW part databases online (realoem and partsale.eu). Maybe I got the part number wrong...
This is seriously OEM? |

RealOEM hasn't been updated in about 6 months. etk.cc is updated pretty much monthly. |

It is a genuine product. It was just launched in Europe. If you go look at the google play store the app for this product is already launched and downloadable. It is a retrofit for people who wants a HUD but didn't order it from the factory. One advantage is that it can be updatable unlike the standard built in HUD.

I think whats throwing me for a loop is that when someone says 'OEM' i think its the same part as what is installed at the factory. But this is clearly not. Otherwise, a new dash and a new windshield would come included in this kit
Is there a precedent for this? I can't think of another BMW OEM feature that has two completely different parts - i.e. i'm doing an OEM rear camera retrofit and its the same exact parts as what comes out of the factory as if i had ordered it as an option during production. wtf... |

I know it seems silly, but the first thing I thought when I read OEM retrofit was the hidden in-dash one, not a BMW made aftermarket unit that just sits on the dash.

well... what you're talking about is technically available as well. It looks pretty unpleasant to accomplish. LOL
