nifty feature...i think mercedes actually used this first in their fancy s500

Wow, thats pretty neat. They have to have something to make up for iDrive....

Mercedes did it first (as they did with every other safety invention we now consider normal in our cars - belts, airbags...)

Hopefully BMW can get it up on the windscreen instead of the display on the dash, no one wants to take their eyes off the road to look down for long!

This monitor will end up causing more crashes then not. Yes, windshield projection is necessary when the point is not to take your focus off the windshield.

Although its a nice stalker feature- you can drive without your lights on at night and scare the **** outta the cops. They really hate when you turn your lights off while going 80.

how can it do that??...its the same looking out the windshield than looking at the monitor...same image except one would be able to see more from the screen...

Certainly an interesting feature, but I am not sure of the value of having the image onto a display screen.

I wonder if it could be sent to one lens of a pair of glasses or similar so that both images could be superimposed ?
