Windshield Tesla or OEM BMW

I called a local 3rd party shop and had them order the glass from BMW and then they installed in when it arrived from Germany about 2 weeks later. Saved me about $1500 vs. BMW of Austin asking $3200 installed (HUD, Driver Assist Camera, etc) including recalibration. Was ~$1700 all-in for OE glass and recal of the driver aides and HUD. Could have gotten it about $600 cheaper with 3rd party glass, but have heard horror stories about how cheap glass can mess up visibility of the HUD so stuck with OE BMW glass.

My friend just cracked his Model Y Performance windshield and was quoted $1530ish to get it replaced by Tesla. There's tons of rocks on the roads here in Las Vegas and I drive a lot, so this is a no-brainer for me.

My 2021 Tesla has things hitting the windshield. Nothing cracks.

Just had safelite do mine and I don’t recall the brand on the glass but it’s not Tesla. Looks fine to me no issues. Actually the previous windshield was replace by Tesla and the glass quality was not good. I almost took it back to them. Had small waves in it that produced a distortion at certain viewing angles. Then it cracked. It also had a lot of small chips in it way more than other vehicles in the past so maybe this new brand will be better

On my 2022 540i, I went through 3 windshields during my 3 year lease. Felt like the glass with HUD is made of sugar these days.

In the first three years I owned my car the windshield needed replacing three times. I paid $100 a month for the privilege of having a windshield

Windshield is insanely expensive and seems to crack/chip pretty easy

my M3 I had prior the windshield got cracked three separate times

their engineering quality threshold for windshields is dismal and below that of every other car maker. It’s actually embarrassing how bad it is.

I had my M3 windshield crack from freeway rocks 4 months after I bought the car.
