6230... Notes on head-up display (M5 2018-2022 M5 Competition 2019-2022, M5 CS 2022)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2023 BMW M5, 2022 BMW M5, 2021 BMW M5, 2020 BMW M5, and 2019 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: A special windshield must be fitted to ensure that the Head-Up Display image can be projected correctly.
This windshield comprises three sections.
An outer and an inner glass pane are connected by a wedge-shaped plastic film.
The wedge shape prevents double projection of the Head-Up Display.
When the windshield is replaced, the vehicle identification number and applicable BMW parts catalogue must be checked to ascertain whether the windshield in question is suitable for HUD  .

Example of the display with a conventional windshield: 

With a conventional windshield, the projected image is reflected on the inner and outer glass pane, producing a double image.
