HAve had the change approx 2 months ago on my 2016, I did choose Pilkington without the audi marker. Paid 1100€ (Hungary) and until now it is as good as factory one.
For whats its worth, I had mine replaced at Safelite and haven't had any issues 4 months later. They used Pilkington glass which is OEM for BMW. HUD still works great. ACC did need recalibration the next day (City Safety features turned off) but they were able to do it at Safelite with Bosch equipment. I use Pilot Assist for >50% of my driving and it is functioning the same as before.
They put in a Pilkington windshield and calibrated everything for about $700.00. Everything works as it should, the HUD is clear but seems to be a a very slight angle compared to the OEM glass.
I replaced the windshield in my 2022 for $350 all said and done. 3rd party installer outside of Atlanta used Pilkington glass and did not need to recalibrate the Eyesight system. I’ve been driving with the new glass for two months now and have had no issues.
We’re on our 4th windshield for a ‘22 OBW. The third window, about 6 weeks after that, we switched to Pilkington and that’s lasted about 70k miles - so far. It has a bunch of pings that we think would have done in an OEM.
The OEM Pilkington sticker and numbers all match exactly. Seems to be a good replacement - I can't see or hear anything wrong with it.
after 10+ years its full of scratches and small dents. Around 600EUR for Pilkington OEM.
I got a pilkington replacement from a local auto glass shop. I'm seeing some distortions in the glass as a scan across the windshield, so I have reason to doubt the quality of pilkington glass.
We’ve had horrible luck with pilkington delivering damaged glass in the last few months. Just last week it took them FOUR attempts to deliver the windshield for an odyssey. It gets old real fast
2024 X5, yes same issue. Replaced due to a rock from a truck that was at least 5 - 7 car lengths ahead of me in the right lane. As soon as I got it back after full replacement it was hit again and cracked on the bottom passenger side. Hard to see since so low. The. My husband drove this past week and also endured a chip. I don’t believe the windshields on these are very durable. I’ve owned many cars/SUVs (we lease and trade regularly every 2-3 years). This has by far been the worst.
