Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Audi

I had the windshield on my S5 replaced a couple years ago and the non Audi brand “OEM equivalent” windshield the shop installed first messed up the image, it was a double image out of focus. When they replaced it with the Audi branded OEM windshield the heads up was good again.

Everything works as expected still, I swear it’s quieter on the highway now too and no leaks…obviously but look I was paranoid of anything less than a precise install.

Got OEM glass, no more distortion, much more quiet.

I used SafeLite on my X3 and they used OEM glass and no problems. Everything works perfectly. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

If you are paying out of pocket, you should insist on an OEM windshield. Otherwise, the HUD may not be clear or focused.

When I bought my S6, the previous owner had replaced the windhsield at some point. Well, adaptive cruise active lane keep, and audi brake guard was non functioning. Audi replaced the windshield for one that supportd the camera and I was told it was pretty damn expensive

I recently purchased a 2024 330i M-Sport a little over a month ago and it seems my car attracts rocks or something because my windshield is covered in these tiny little chips. I thought it was dirt or something at first; but, after close inspection, they are indeed chips. I’ve had cars that have gone through hell and back without any damage at all. I’ve been taking it relatively easy on the car, just commuting to work and back just for this to happen so soon. If it keeps going at this rate, it’s gonna accumulate so many that it’s gonna bother the shit out of me more than it does now and I’m gonna want to replace it.

2021 M550. On 4th windshield. Don’t tailgate and don’t live in “the city.” The smallest pebble cracks every time.

My windshield cracked in the first 500 miles of owning my BMW. Same situation…..wasn’t tailgating and didn’t even see where it came from. But one little rocked cracked it 12 inches and had to replace the whole windshield.

First week I got my BMW, small chip that quickly turned into a huge crack ????
