3. The default display is your current speed. It also posts nav directions, cruise control info, traffic alerts, open door warnings, and various system warnings (one I am very familiar with is "tire pressure monitor failure", which is its own annoying thing that is currently driving me crazy)

Thanks for the reply!
I like the idea of it which is why I was considering it. After spending a while earlier today talking about this with my CA he actually steered me away from getting it. That kind shocked me but he's a straight forward kinda guy.
The HUD in the new 3 series is better it seems and I was told the X3 didn't get that for '13 otherwise he would have recommended it more. He also mentioned that most of the stuff in the HUD is also shown where the driver gauges are in the X3 so it's not super necessary as it may be in other BMWs to have the HUD option.
The videos you sent I actually watched earlier even before making the thread as I was on the fence because they didn't win me over at all.
