If you wish to raise the heads-up display on your E60 M5 this is the way to do it!

First, remove the two Torx screws above the monitor (the stereo / navagation screen).  Use a T10 Torx socket to remove screws.  

 
The monitor easily comes out as a single piece. No need unplug the monitor, just let it hang off to the side.

You will see a cable secured to a clip. Un-clip the cable and you can spin it (by hand) and the HUD will move left and right.

Further back and to the left is a 13mm nut on a shaft that has 6mm hex end.  Loosen the 13mm silver nut a full turn or two. To loosen, use a 13mm deep socket with a long extension, ¼ inch or 3/8 inch tools will work fine for this.

Now to twist this shaft, use a 6mm socket on a long extension. There seems to be a low and high position, anything in the middle seems too hard to get it to stay in position.  Tighten the lock nut, check the tilt with the cable, install the main screen with two torx screws.


DONE!
