Head-Up-Screen, North America?

Before some says I'm talking about the Heads up display, no. I'm talking about the Heads Up Screen from BMW, Theres a retrofit kit available but so far I've only seen them in use by overseas owners, or rather people who live on countries that use KM/H as the standard of sped measurements, Canada including. Which is weird considering there's an option to have it display good old freedom per hour on there.

Does anyone in the states have one installed on their M2? Or any other BMW here? I would like to fit one on my incoming M2 If possible

I believe they are available as an BMW accessory. You should talk with your dealer.

That looks really interesting and awesome. I don't remember seeing that accessory when I was browsing through their online catalog, is it a dealer specific thing? I might have to ask around here, see if they do the install in at my dealer too.

Here's a link to a German video that shows the HUD in action:

Thing is, I did and they couldn't find it in the order catalog, which was weird considering...

I am not sure, I've only seen this thing installed overseas and then Canada for some reason, actually mostly placed that use KM/H as the measurement system

That dealer is in Canada, should have been more specific and said looking for an example within the states. Cause anytime I see stuff related to this, its countries that use KM/H, even though the HUS can use MPH

Why go to a BMW dealer, when you can get it from Amazon?

Would the dealer be able to do the install? I feel like they wouldn't be able considering they never had the product on their order catalog in the first place, thus having no competent person good enough to do it. Or am I just being an assuming asshole, lol

Who knows? I would think any good dealer mechanic could follow the installation instructions, but we don't even know if it's U.S. F87 compatible. The supplier to Amazon for the HUS is Euroactive in Pennsylvania. You could contact them and ask about compatibility and installation.

BTW, it looks like it doesn't use the M2's navigation system; you need a Bluetooth connection to a Garmin app on your smart phone.

Me or the HUS?

That's what I don't like about it, plus the price. It just sits on top of the dash, probably rattling around. You can get an aftermarket HUS that does pretty much the same thing for under $200, but it seems like it would be more of a distraction than useful to me.

Apparently it's very steady, at least if mounted properly. Personally I like it because I don't wanna have to look down so often, but mostly its cause I like the look of it, and I'm sad about the M2 not having a HUD, which is a feature I have come to enjoy on my C63s

And the thing about it not being compliant with F87, this video shows an M2 with it on.

Isn’t there a mount that they just released. That prevents the rattling? (Haven’t watch the video posted above. May show new mount.

Looks like you are correct. The second video shows the mount. The first vid with the BMW specialist appears that the mount is missing.

It'd be nice if those guys who make the replacement dash cover in alcantra and blue stitching made a version that built this in more seemlessly.

I was considering this but the video & pictures that i saw made it like it was an afterthought. With the new mount, it actually looks like it should be there.

Like someone above posted, if BimmerMasterPieces took those mounts and wrapped them in the alcanatara with blue stitching...I'd be all over this since I already have the dash cover

Seems like, in that video, the new mount is already available in Canada! Do you have a dealer that we could contact to see the details of the item? I'd like to buy that complete set, esepcially with the mount. But I wouldn't know if they could ship to US.

If it's available do you think you can proxy, or send me your dealers link so I can have them ship over to US?
