Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Honda

Safelite’s windshield is not tinted nor as thick as the OEM. I’d recommend only use the BMW OEM windshield or you’re devaluing you X5.

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.

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.

Can confirm that 2024 Accord EX's windshield cracks easily

2025 Pilot, had a hunk of rock penetrate the windshield coming off a cow trailer when I had something like 800 miles on it

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

The timing chain was the first thing to go , which was meant to \u2018last the lifetime\u2019 of the car, which in BMW\u2019s eyes was certainly no more than 95k miles. Expensive to fix! Then the air suspension , oh and the brakes also locked whilst at a friend\u2019s house and parked on the drive , had to be dragged off their drive by the rescue lorry. The rear windshield also just spontaneously exploded while parked on my drive.

My 2017 Touring glass is streaky and spotty even when fully clean. 8 years of crappy winters and dusty summers and pollen-filled springs have really made the glass age rapidly. Even during the first few years, it never seemed to get “clean enough” so that I didn’t notice the streaks and spots in full sunlight.

Honda Glass is garbage. They break easily and get dusty/dirty super quick for some reason
