Windscreen Replacement
Hey all !
The news here in the UK constantly talk of bad roads, potholes and increased windscreen damage. I listened, but never really took note. I do now. "A" road... with potholes... and a truck the opposite way = Star crack, centre passenger side... with growing little spider legs... Just had Autoglass out to repair (£100 excess, no impact to No Claims)... BUT... and it is a big one. They can only source the windscreen from BMW as it has all the HUDS, cameras, sensors etc... and guess what ? BMW UK does not have any. None. Zippo. Autoglass is awaiting BMW UK's response. BMW UK is in contact with Germany. I assume when they said that, they meant BMW Germany... and not just Germany in general.  Anyone else have to swap out the windscreen, and run into issues ??? g8crasher |

I had mine swapped out about a month ago. Got a bunch of rock chips in it from one of the rally's I participated in. I'm in the US and it took about a week to get the windshield. Cost me $1300.

 there's a good chance yours was from the same batch mine came from. We actually ordered 3 windshield and watch them race each other to the US . Apparently it didn't make a difference . All made it in at the same time. Also made no difference ordering the US/OEM or the European climate comfort windshield

What's the logic behind not stocking any inventory globally?Windshields break.
