Cracked mine too - rock hit and growing all around.

Dealer had stock on OEM glass, but I am having an independent body shop (a very good one) do the work for around $920. Insurance (sub-contracted out to Safelight) indicated they only will pay $720 (a "competitive" rate) even with my OEM glass rider. With a $500 deducible, ouch! Trying to think how to appeal to insurance. No HUD, but have rain sensor.

Drove a 3-series for 11 years, 200k miles, and hit all kinds of flying rocks, but no cracks. Wondering if the glass is thinner on the F10 to save weight.

Edit: update - the adhesive to attach the rain sensor mirror is a BMW special item ($$) and is required for the rain sensor to work properly. Total cost came to around $1150.
