36k miles and just a small chip that I got in a gnarly hail storm in Nebraska while driving cross country. That was when it was brand new. No issues with it since. Was waiting for it to get worse before I took it in for the windshield recall but it never worsened.
Pros: durable, no worsening damage
Cons: small chip from hail

I’ve had my glass replaced in 2016 on a 2015 435i with heads up display and insurance covered the OEM replacement BMW logos and all. Only complaint was the tech put a small scratch in my heads up with his jagged ass vacuum cleaner tip but he owned up to it and wrote and signed it on the receipt in case I wanted to make a claim about it. It didn’t affect the heads up so I let it go.
Pros: OEM replacement, BMW logos, insurance covered
Cons: tech scratched HUD

I recently purchased a 2024 330i M-Sport a little over a month ago and it seems my car attracts rocks or something because my windshield is covered in these tiny little chips. I thought it was dirt or something at first; but, after close inspection, they are indeed chips. I’ve had cars that have gone through hell and back without any damage at all. I’ve been taking it relatively easy on the car, just commuting to work and back just for this to happen so soon. If it keeps going at this rate, it’s gonna accumulate so many that it’s gonna bother the shit out of me more than it does now and I’m gonna want to replace it.
Cons: chips easily, fragile

BMW
2021 M550. On 4th windshield. Don’t tailgate and don’t live in “the city.” The smallest pebble cracks every time.
Cons: cracks easily, fragile

My windshield cracked in the first 500 miles of owning my BMW. Same situation…..wasn’t tailgating and didn’t even see where it came from. But one little rocked cracked it 12 inches and had to replace the whole windshield.
Cons: cracked easily, small rock damage

Mileage: 805 km
First week I got my BMW, small chip that quickly turned into a huge crack ????
Cons: chips easily, cracks quickly

I went through 2 windshield in a couple of weeks. First one was because a motorcycle rider in the fast lane kicked up a rock and it hit my windshield in the lower left corner by the vin. I was in the other lane. Fluke accident. it started as a small chip but over the next 30min the crack moved across the windshield. Never seen that before. I got it replaced at the dealer 3800.00 later. A few weeks later I hear a huge bang like something hit my car and a huge crack is now across my windshield. I was not tailing anyone. I think the windshield might have been installed incorrectly or was defective and cracked from some stress. Another 3800.00 and this one seems fine so far.
Pros: current one seems fine
Cons: cracked easily, defective, stress cracks
