My windshield got a foot long crack in it the very first time I drove the car. I was going 35-40 mph when a very small rock hit my windshield. I've had dozens of larger rocks, at higher speeds hit my Infiniti G35 without causing any noticible crack. I have an estimate of $550 from a local repair shop. The glass is a little over $400 from the dealer (base model, no HUD or lane departure), $30 for a molding, and $100 to install. I asked about aftermarket glass, but the installer told me that currently there isn't much out there. In a couple of years, the aftermarket glass will be out there more, and at a lower price.
Any thoughts? $550 doesn't sound that bad if the BMW glass is over $400.
