Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM BMW

Just left the dealership today looking for a quote on my 2021 430i with HUD. I was going to pay out of pocket to avoid a comprehensive claim on my insurance until I was quoted $2K.

My 2002 Toyota is perfectly unharmed...

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.

Had the windshield of my 24 replaced because of a crack, they calibrated it and then had to come out and recalibrate it because it wouldn\u2019t;t registered on the left until I was well in to the oncoming lane. It may self calibrate, but probably poorly.

I just had my 7th windshield put in last month on my 2019.

I have never had replace a windshield in any my 8 other cars in my 21 years of driving, and my last car was even a wrangler. I have had 4 cracks in my 4R, replaced it twice, and is currently cracked again, in 3 years!! I love this car but Toyota effed up on the windshields.

I’m on windshield #4 on my 2018

Toyota windshields are like glass. I’ve had 3 chips/cracks in 2 years. All my other cars haven’t had any in 5 years.

My 2022 Tacoma is on its second windshield and I currently have a huge crack in it and a separate one forming from rocks on the roads flying up.

I've noticed on my 2024 Rav4 that the windshield is more prone to stone chips. This is my 4th Toyota and already in the span of a year I have two stone chips that on my other Toyota's would not have chipped.
