Pretty smooth repair and haven’t had any issues since.
Pros: smooth repair, no issues

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

I was in a similar situation 2 years ago, except it was a 2012 accord n was looking at a 2023 4runner. Biggest difference i felt in the negative side was fuel economy and throttle response. Neither are something you should expect from 4runner, and I knew that going in but driving them back to back or alternating every other day, u feel it a lot. As far as throttle response, after driving for a while I realized while it's not a k series engine n can't go like it can but its plenty powerful and it can be responsive if ur in the right gear n right rpm. windshield is a chip magnet but so is my accord. I do like the near vertical windshield, though. I feel it blocks the sun better during the day.
Pros: blocks sun better
Cons: fuel economy, throttle response
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
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
Vehicle:
BMW
I’ve got like 4 or 5 cracks, looks like I’ve been in a war zone. Every time I think about replacing it, another rock hits the windshield
Cons: prone to cracking, poor durability
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
I average a cracked windshield every 1.5 years at this point
Cons: poor durability
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Freaking windshield is a magnet for rocks on the street. Funny when I park by another 4Runner I keep looking for the vin# so far everyone I check have a replacement already
Cons: prone to rock damage
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Over 15 years, I’ve put 4 windshields in my 2010. Prior to my 4Runner - 0.0 windshields in all other cars combined.
Cons: poor durability, prone to damage
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Had mine less than 24 hours before my first Rock chip, 2 by the end of the first week. Apparently this is a frequent occurrence with 4runners.
Cons: prone to rock chips
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
