Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Honda
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.
Pros: OE glass quality, good HUD visibility
Cons: cheap glass messes up HUD

I ended up going through a local glass company, and they sourced OEM glass from BMW. The replacement went perfectly.
Pros: perfect replacement
Vehicle:
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.

The OEM glass is nothing special to begin with. I noticed waves and/or imperfections with just about ALL the CRV's when I bought mine (23)...mine included.
Cons: waves and imperfections, nothing special

We had to replace the windshield on our 2022 Acord Hybrid. Got a rock chip and had it filled/repaired. Went out town for a month, and the windshield had side to side and top to bottom cracks when we returned.
Cons: cracked easily, poor durability
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I had a 9th gen accord and my LARGEST "maintenance" expense was replacing the windshields. I shit you not I had to replace the windshield 2 separate times over the course of 2 years because some random truck on the highway would kick up something seemingly harmless and destroy my windshield.
Cons: poor durability, frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Just over a year of ownership with my 24 Accord and I already have multiple chips and dings on the windshield. All while driving with adaptive cruise control at a far distance.
I had no issues with my 9th gen and that car I drove aggressively when I was younger, you would expect it— but no damages to the windshield.
Love the 11th gen hybrid but the glass quality ain’t it
Cons: multiple chips, poor quality
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
My 10th gen looks like it’s been through hell. I need to replace it but I haven’t seen a point it is just going to happen again. It’s on like it’s 4 or 5th windshield since 2019
Cons: poor durability, frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
10th Gen owner here, and the glass on mine is garbage to every other car I’ve owned. Haven’t had to replace mine as I don’t have any huge cracks, but the windshield is full of tiny pitting all over. When I wash my car, windshield still looks like shit due to all the pitting.
Cons: garbage quality, tiny pitting
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
