Windshield OEM BMW or OEM FORD

Got a quote from an independent shop recommended by my detailer, total was around $2600 for parts and labor for ‘24 X5. It was OEM glass directly from BMW. They also calibrated. Job was done perfectly and had no issues.

My X3 windshield was like $2500 with BMW glass. Cheap aftermarket glass was only a few hundred dollars. I pushed my insurance to pay for the real deal.

Just had mine replaced through the dealership. I could've used safelight, but I didn't want to chance any issues with the HUD, etc.

I had to replace my X3 M40i and opted for the OEM windshield to ensure none of the above is compromised. It’s also the most visible and most used while driving so I personally wouldn’t cut corners for this.

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.

Mine came with bad scratches, so they replaced it.

The Bronco glass does seem to crack way easier than anything else I've owned. Keep in mind our weather temps in Canada can be a bit extreme though.

I know how to repair windshield chips to prevent them from spreading myself, but as soon as it chips in the bronco, the cracks spread like wildfire and are >6” before I get home!

4 windshields in 2 years for my 2022 540i. Always been a vey small rock with a chip on the edges.

This latest 2022 540i has been the worst on windshields. I’ve never once cracked a windshield. I’m now going on my 4th windshield in two years.
