That is partially true, but in this case I think it was just a matter of they changed the HVAC design since it's not on the F30 either. The HUD from another article I read was actually a packaging constraint. They could not fit the HUD unit in the space available on the 2.

But you're right, nicer features are reserved for nicer cars. Which is why we'll never get the massaging seats with ventilation.
