Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
I took my car 5N to Safelite and they did a phenomenally good job. Because the car is so new, there are no 3rd party replacements available, such as PPG. So I have a OEM Hyundai windshield as a replacement. All calibrations were done perfectly, and the job took only a few hours. This isn't an ad for Safelite, just truthfully sharing my experience.
Pros: phenomenally good job
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I ended up going through a reputable local glass shop near me who was able to order the OEM glass from Hyundai (took several weeks) and cost about ~$1,600. They didn’t need to do any camera calibration since they didn’t have to move any camera modules. I haven’t had any problems since then. As for whether to get OEE vs OEM? Really up to you but I really preferred to have the OEM just for peace of mind, especially with a HUD and all.
Pros: peace of mind, no problems
Vehicle:
Hyundai Sonata
Replaced my cracked windshield. I have Amica insurance with full grace replacement coverage. Simply went to Safelite and explained that I want genuine bmw OE glass. No problem. Just took about a week longer at the time vs generic to get the part in.
Pros: genuine OE glass
Cons: longer wait time
Vehicle:
BMW
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
The windshield has already given out on me. It appears as if a rock chip turned into a crack almost instantly and I’m concerned if this is a common occurrence because I saw some others mentioning it. I’m out $800-900 for the repair and another month or two waiting on the windshield as it is on back order. I haven’t seen a windshield crack this easy and I’m scared it will happen again. The car is so new there is no aftermarket options for the windshield so you are forced to go with the OEM option.
Cons: cracks instantly, expensive repair, long wait time, no aftermarket options

I’ve owned 6 BMWs every one of them got cracked windshields, some multiple times….i always got oem…
Cons: prone to cracking

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