HUD 'puma'
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Basically, when NAV directions are being given, when you get the 3D graphic for the autobahn/motorway exit/entrance ramps, the HUD screen turns white then a scrambled image pops up. The BMW techs here didnt know how to fix it so they sent off a puma. Anyone experience similar let me know, thanks!

Same issue. German specific?
Glad to have read your post. Took delivery of a very similar vehicle 2 days ago. This is euro delivery but will live in US. The issue with the HUD is identical. I was hoping its specific to display of German characters? I have not been able to contact BMW as where I picked it up (Welt) is closed and I drop it off Monday for shipping. What is a "puma?" I also suspected regular techs would have no idea and a software update will need to be deployed. Was on the Autobahn for the last two days breaking it in and every "exit" sign caused the white box followed by the scrambled image. Please let me know if you find a solution.

If I remember correctly, I've already read some posts about this particular HUD issue in various BMW forums: They seem to be basically caused by a country/language mismatch between the "base vehicle" and the NAV data. In other words, European NAV data on a US spec model is likely to cause this issue.
So Geekybrain should see no more issues once the car has made it across the pond. Not sure about delvek though... is yours a US model?

This is correct. The only way to fix was for me to buy the EU maps which I did and problem solved. Since you are only here "vacation" I would recommend forgetting the problem and wait until your home to enjoy the HUD graphics.
