Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Hyundai

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.

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.

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.

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.

On my 5th windshield in my ‘21.

Palisade has a notoriously crack-prone windshield. Our '22 has had 3 separate chips/cracks and 1 total replacement.

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

Mine just cracked. Is definitely unusual
