Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Audi

Pretty smooth repair and haven’t had any issues since.

Also make sure you tell the insurance company that you need OEM because of the HUD.

I called a local 3rd party shop and had them order the glass from BMW and then they installed in when it arrived from Germany about 2 weeks later. Saved me about $1500 vs. BMW of Austin asking $3200 installed (HUD, Driver Assist Camera, etc) including recalibration. Was ~$1700 all-in for OE glass and recal of the driver aides and HUD. Could have gotten it about $600 cheaper with 3rd party glass, but have heard horror stories about how cheap glass can mess up visibility of the HUD so stuck with OE BMW glass.

OEM glass is slightly thicker which is more sound proof so I went that route.

Just had this done about a month ago at Auto Glass Now. OEM front window for my RS6 with recalibration was ~$2470 including tax. Allegedly the glass place said there was no after market window FWIW.

The glass is not great, at least that’s been my experience for my M3. It’s gotten to the point that I’m getting too good at those repair kits.

Audi must have an issue with their windshield. Am on my second crack in 3 months.

had my bmw x3 for 2 years and have had 4 cracks already wtfffff

We have had our M440i and drive is seldomly. On a recent road trip, I heard a small stone hit the windshield. This was 4am with hardly any traffic. No damage was seen on it. We parked the car and returned 5 days later to find a huge crack around the rear view mirror. Never seen anything like it. Replacement at the dealer is $2600.

My fourth windshield is going to be replaced. Never had a broken windshield in my entire life and I'm 63 years old. Have had four with two BMWs
