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
yep the OEM is weak af. I went to a local shop and paid $325 in Chicago. Works great, eyesight works perfectly, and glass is much stronger.
Pros: glass is much stronger, works great
Cons: OEM is weak

Subaru Forester
I got a crack in my windshield the first weekend of driving my Outback in 2017. A huge rock was kicked up on the interstate, I think most cars would’ve had the same result as my car.
Cons: windshield cracked easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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’m on like my 5th windshield. I’ve got a split running across half the windshield now that I just have to live with because of these absolutely ridiculously priced windshields that will inevitably crack in less than 30 days after replacing.
Cons: prone to cracking, high price
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
I’ve owned 6 BMWs every one of them got cracked windshields, some multiple times….i always got oem…
Cons: prone to cracking
Vehicle:

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
