Same HUD as the F56 but a little more detail. Backup camera now has 360 bird eye view like the 2013+ BMWs. The under seat bass speakers have been replaced with a real amp+subwoofer in the hidden boot compartment.Any confirmation yet if the HUD will project onto the windscreen? Or if we'll still have "one more thing that can break"?
And no faux hood scoop, maybe @insightman's letter had some influence after all.

Besides the lack of range, sounds like my SE. Replaced my amp, subs, added 360, HUD on a goofy plastic sheetBackup camera now has 360 bird eye view like the 2013+ BMWs. The under seat bass speakers have been replaced with a real amp+subwoofer in the hidden boot compartment.
The bonus with using a pop-up HUD is that it does not interfere with polarized sunglasses!Aside from inherent reliability, the (mild) complaint I have about projecting onto a screen instead of the windshield is the utility. Initially I felt that it was the height (too low), but now I have decided that it is the tinted background. In my spouse's CX-5, the projected information seems to be on the road in front of you, requiring little change in the focus of your vision. In the SE, though, the HUD is just another screen inside the car, which pulls your eyes not only lower but also closer to read.
On the plus side, the screen rising out of the dashboard every time you turn the car on is nice to impress passengers.
Also power seats with 2 driver memory + power lumbar and 18 inch wheel options (225/40).Besides the lack of range, sounds like my SE. Replaced my amp, subs, added 360, HUD on a goofy plastic sheet![]()
Looks cooler on Google Maps across the street from Xinlianxin Happy Farmhouse. I don't know what voodoo magic was able to cut through all that smog.The photo of the Zhangjiagang factory on that web page looks like the microscopic magnification of an integrated circuit. That's probably because it's designed to be as efficient as an integrated circuit.

On that map, Guotai N Rd looks like a major thoroughfare. Does it go under the factory?Looks cooler on Google Maps across the street from Xinlianxin Happy Farmhouse. I don't know what voodoo magic was able to cut through all that smog.
That photo was the first I've seen that refers to the BMW/GWM factory as the "Spotlight Automotive plant."I don't think "Zhangjiagang factory" rolls off the tongue as well as "Plant Oxford".![]()
Most of Google has been banned in China since 2010 so there will be some inaccurate data. That being said, it could be a super tunnel!On that map, Guotai N Rd looks like a major thoroughfare. Does it go under the factory?
The article was the first I had seen referencing the new name, despite the partnership being formed almost five years ago.That photo was the first I've seen that refers to the BMW/GWM factory as the "Spotlight Automotive plant."
I was wondering about that, as I have a VLT 80 ceramic film on the inside of my windscreen, and my (admittedly cheap) polarized sunglasses show vivid kaleidoscopes out the windows, and alter the colors of signs and road surfaces (ie dark asphalt looks olive green).The bonus with using a pop-up HUD is that it does not interfere with polarized sunglasses!
The polarizing component should cut down the glare, but the color shift is from light filtration. In your case you probably have G15 replica aviators or high contrast copper/brown lens sport sunglasses. Generally filters won't dramatically affect windscreen HUD visibility like polarizing sunglasses do.I was wondering about that, as I have a VLT 80 ceramic film on the inside of my windscreen, and my (admittedly cheap) polarized sunglasses show vivid kaleidoscopes out the windows, and alter the colors of signs and road surfaces (ie dark asphalt looks olive green).
