Kiwi_BMW 89 Report post Posted March 25, 2020 Well with 4 weeks to fill in I was wondering if any members on here have a E60 with Heads Up Display? I'm looking to do some projects and could do with a template for cutting out the opening for the HUD trim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I could do with are some measurements to the edge of the opening for the HUD and a cardboard template if possible. The trim is just clipped into place, so if you lift it up from the edge closest to the driver it will just unclip and lift out. I've attached a couple of pics of the dash top and the HUD surround, measurements from the heater vents and the size of the opening would help. As you can see my dash is already out, makes it easy to take photos of. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're in the wrong part of the country it's a fine sunny day here.....lol Thanks, I still have plenty to do while the dash and seats are out, wiring and most for the HUD, etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aja540i 1906 Report post Posted March 26, 2020 This is Auckland, if you don't like the weather, wait 20 minutes. I had a go at pulling the trim off, but it felt like something was going to snap, managed to get some measurements to the trim, I will see if I can find the secret to getting the trim off in one piece and have another go....

Kiwi_BMW 89 Report post Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Thanks, If you look at the trim in my pics you will see there are two clips securing the trim, one is on the right hand corner closest to the driver the other is approx. 100mm down from the corner on the left hand side. Both of the clips go through steel supports which are screwed to the dash. The bottom edge of the trim just hooks under the bottom of the opening so once the clips are released the trim just pulls up and toward the steering wheel to remove it. Yes the clips are quite firm in the openings of the steel supports, about the same as some of the clips holding some of the trim into the dash.
