Windshield OEM BMW or CARGLASS
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.
Pros: avoided HUD issues
Vehicle:
BMW X5
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.
Pros: ensures proper function, no compromise
Vehicle:
BMW X3
Quando qualche anno fa una pigna nel condominio mi sfond\u00f2 il parabrezza (pagato dal condominio per fortuna!) la portai in un posto che mi pare si chiami \"Vetri auto Roma\" o qualcosa del genere, un centinaio di euro di meno rispetto a carglass, lavoro fatto benissimo ormai sono passati quasi dieci anni e il vetro \u00e8 ancora l\u00ec :D
Pros: lavoro fatto benissimo
Cons: costa meno
ho sempre sentito parlare bene di carglass, anche mio padre ha dovuto cambiare pi\u00f9 volte il vetro alla sua auto e si \u00e8 sempre trovato bene
Pros: si \u00e8 sempre trovato bene
I got my windshield repaired 2 weeks ago in switzerland and you can still see the dent, it looks like a small hole and the guy from Carglass said that its normal it stays like this, they dont replace the whole windshield when its a small dent, they repair it instead
Cons: dent still visible
2025 x7 m60 got the same problem front windshield cracked while parked after only having it for 3 weeks. I think bmw has a weak front windshield
Cons: cracked quickly, weak windshield
Vehicle:
BMW X7
2024 X5, yes same issue. Replaced due to a rock from a truck that was at least 5 - 7 car lengths ahead of me in the right lane. As soon as I got it back after full replacement it was hit again and cracked on the bottom passenger side. Hard to see since so low. The. My husband drove this past week and also endured a chip. I don’t believe the windshields on these are very durable. I’ve owned many cars/SUVs (we lease and trade regularly every 2-3 years). This has by far been the worst.
Cons: not durable, cracked easily, chipped easily, worst experience
Vehicle:
BMW X5
I have a 2023 BMW X3 M40i and have the exact same issue. The windshield cracked overnight after only having the car 6 months from new, no stone chip visible. Had it replaced with OEM glass and the replacement windshield cracked in the same place 4 months later. No sign of chip. Looks just like your photo.
Cons: windshield cracked overnight
Vehicle:
BMW X3
I just experienced similar issue with my 2023 x3 m40i yesterday. Mysterious crack that appeared out of nowhere - starts at the top edge (roughly center of windshield), runs straight down vertically until top of bottom sensor, then splits horizontal in both directions.
Cons: mysterious crack appeared
Vehicle:
BMW X3
I’ve owned 6 BMWs every one of them got cracked windshields, some multiple times….i always got oem…
Cons: prone to cracking
Vehicle:
BMW
