Has anyone else noticed this problem? We asked the BMW Ultimate Driving guys about it and they had no idea that it did not work with polarized glasses.

Any heads up display system will not work well with polarized sunglasses. I can't explain the reason, but I work on HUD system in the military and we get pilots all the time who complain that their HUD "isn't bright enough." "Sir, take off your sunglasses, please." "OH! There it is!"
No offense meant to you at all - they're trained not to wear polarized glasses. You aren't. Just get glasses that don't have polarized lenses. Easiest option.
