Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Just replaced the windshield on our brand new 2025. Took a rock a couple days after buying it. My insurance subs all glass claims to Safelite Solutions, but gave me the option to use whomever I wanted. Since the car was new, I wanted official Subaru glass on it, so I went with the dealer.
Pros: official Subaru glass
Vehicle:
Subaru

Pros: OEM Subaru windshield
Cons: mirror not tightened

We have had our M440i and drive is seldomly. On a recent road trip, I heard a small stone hit the windshield. This was 4am with hardly any traffic. No damage was seen on it. We parked the car and returned 5 days later to find a huge crack around the rear view mirror. Never seen anything like it. Replacement at the dealer is $2600.
Cons: huge crack appeared, expensive replacement

The timing chain was the first thing to go , which was meant to \u2018last the lifetime\u2019 of the car, which in BMW\u2019s eyes was certainly no more than 95k miles. Expensive to fix! Then the air suspension , oh and the brakes also locked whilst at a friend\u2019s house and parked on the drive , had to be dragged off their drive by the rescue lorry. The rear windshield also just spontaneously exploded while parked on my drive.
Cons: windshield exploded
Vehicle:
BMW X5
Mileage: 95000 km
Our 2020 Outback just got a crack in the windshield.

Cons: prone to chipping, poor durability
Vehicle:
