The MFD panel is a nice upgrade. I was among the first to retrofit it into my F10 550. While it can be ordered with/without HUD, it's usefulness with HUD is somewhat diminished. I tried retrofitting one to my X5 and it physically fit but the car's software could not address it. I didn't get to dig, but remember from my 550 that certain menus weren't available. Entertainment was after I-Level 50.x, but Telephone was not. Also certain other convenience codes that people like don't work, like turn signals.
I'm hoping that its inclusion in the F15/F16 (which are for the most part BMW's most advanced chassis right now) means that they improved it.
Also - really interesting that bmw.co.uk has both the X5 and F16 X6 available for configuring with new options but bmw.de does not.
