　　The recently released German new BMW model ordering guide shows that some of the company's models have cancelled the HUD display. The display was previously included in the innovation package provided by BMW in the German market for the 3 series models. The price of this innovation package is 3,650 euros ( Approximately US$4,200). After canceling the HUD display, the innovation package is now priced at 2,500 Euros (approximately US$2,900) and is only available for M340i, M340d and 330e models.

　　reported that the affected models are not only the 3 series, the HUD display in the 4 series will also be cancelled, but does not include the M440i and M440d. Among the X3 and X4 models, only the M40i, M40d and 30e models will retain the HUD display. The situation of Z4 Roadster, 1 series and 2 series is similar, only consumers who purchase the M Performance version can order HUD monitors. Some other high-end models, such as the 5 Series, do not seem to be affected.

　　BMW did not disclose how long this situation will continue, but some BMW customers stated on the forum that they were informed of the problem with the supply of HUD as early as February this year. It is understood that some customers have been told that the supply of Harman Kardon audio used in some models is also in short supply. BMW has publicly discussed the problem of chip shortages before. The company's executives have previously stated that the chip crisis will continue until 2022, so this reduction will not be surprising.
