Default C7 possible 2 huds?

Saw a new feature on the BMW's coming with 2 HUD projectors, I wonder if the c7 might have this in the future?

Too much distraction for me. Very neat technology though. I'd wreck if I saw all that in my windshield

On the C7 in the future - highly unlikely. On the C8 - maybe.

Not likely. I think the 4 series is way more the typical commuter than the new Corvette and from what I've seen the new HUD looks great. How long until you start installing the C7 HUDs?

I have to tear one apart to see what is involved and if it's even a viable option to be done.

C8 = 4 HUD . . . . . 3 on the windshield and 1 on the rear glass because we're not gonna let BWM distract their drivers more than ours

In the future, I won't need to steer, shift, gas, brake or pay any attention to where I am and where I'm going; so the windshield can display movies , news, weather, sports and dispense beer for me . . .
