Windshield Tesla or OEM BMW
Got a quote from an independent shop recommended by my detailer, total was around $2600 for parts and labor for ‘24 X5. It was OEM glass directly from BMW. They also calibrated. Job was done perfectly and had no issues.
Pros: done perfectly, no issues
Vehicle:
BMW X5
My X3 windshield was like $2500 with BMW glass. Cheap aftermarket glass was only a few hundred dollars. I pushed my insurance to pay for the real deal.
Pros: real deal, high quality
Cons: high cost
Vehicle:
BMW X3
Just had mine replaced through the dealership. I could've used safelight, but I didn't want to chance any issues with the HUD, etc.
Pros: avoided HUD issues
Vehicle:
BMW X5
I used my Tesla service center. They did an adequate job

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
Their windshield/glass quality sucks. I had to get two replacement windshields as both had horrible distortion in the driver's field of view.
Cons: poor quality, visual distortion
My fourth windshield is going to be replaced. Never had a broken windshield in my entire life and I'm 63 years old. Have had four with two BMWs
Cons: frequent replacements, fragile
Vehicle:
BMW
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
