Is it possible to retrofit the HUD for the X3?

Anything is possible, but it would cost a pretty penny. It would require getting the HUD unit and replacing the dashboard (both of which you could find on auction sites or junkyards). You would have to check your instrument cluster to see if you by luck have the connector for the HUD, if not, you would have to replace the instrument cluster. You would also need a couple other pieces like screws and the trim piece for the HUD. Lastly, and pretty expensive unless you go through your insurance, you would need to replace the windshield to prevent the double-image from happening, as well as replacing the Rain/Light sensor that goes on the windshield above the rear-view mirror. Depending on how cheaply you find the parts and the cost of replacing the windshield, you're looking around at least $2k-$3k, maybe slightly less if you don't have to replace the instrument cluster and if your insurance will replace the windshield for free.

I guess I'll just have o tilt my eyeballs down a tiny bit then. Sigh. lol. I asked because there is an instrument cluster with HUD for sale in the members sales section. I wondered if it's been done before.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to order it with this in the first place?
