Are you referring to polarized sunglasses or is the actual lens that the image projects through polarized? I did notice that when I drove the X6 50i while wearing my Maui Jim sunglasses, which are polarized, I could not see the HUD image. I had to take them off to see it.

I passed on HUD this time. I have it in my 645. I like it but only is useful with Nav. 99% of the time it just displays speed and provides little value. I think HUD is better with M cars as they get the tach on the display. Whatever is displayed on HUD is already on the intrument cluster and iDrive. If you never had HUD before it is a great novelty like night vision. Both have been around for years but never really took off in cars. The silly feature does not even show the turn signals being on which would be the biggest value to me.

If you only drive in daylight and in really sunny weather with your sunglasses on, I would suggest you pass on the HUD as it will be of very little use to you. However if you do some night driving or drive in weather that does not require you to wear sunglasses all the time, HUD is a neat add on. The next generation of HUD is supposed to display a lot more information on the windshield. Including night vision imaging if so equipped! Now that is something I wish they would already offer in the X6!

I figure, I'll buy the X6 xDrive50i now (fully loaded) and drive it for about two years. By that time, they should have the new iDrive, new night vision, new HUD and maybe other gadgets out and should have had it on the market for about a year. That should give them enough time to work out any kinks they will most likely encounter with them. Also, by that time, they should have the 'M' version available at which point I would definitely trade the 50i in for the 'M' version
