Glass is only around 200-300 it's the damn installation that kills. I ended up out the door with wipers to the tune of around $975. Granted that was dealer installed factory glass, but then all I was paying was the ins. co deductible.

My sister had her windshield replaced by a glass shop for 300 bucks, fit and finish is perfect. That's an a 2002 325i.

thanks, about 300 sounds right. damn 1k?! what was the glass made out of, gold? never take your car to the stealers.....

glad my comprehensive deductible is $200

damn, this bird was damn big too, almost went through the glass

Mine cost $200 cash no insurance out the door. Good glass too....

My best friend from Houston came to visit today, also a BMW enthusiast. I was showing him what the car could do on a very very long straight farm road. I was goin about 110-120 when I saw about 20 buzzards fly off a dead carcass of some sort. I had enough time to say: FUCK BIRDS. lucky I only hit one, and so close to the pillar and roof...or it probably woulda gone through

Dint really scare me, Im used to deer and jackrabbits around here. Damn I wish I had a picture of that buzzard, it was bigger than my Boston terrier

I paid 190 out the door for a new windshield. They fucked up my trim, though, so it's missing. Doesn't leak and the glass is good, though.

I paid about 300 for mine. 1K is WAY off the charts. Dealer bent you over on that one!

bent him over, had their way, and then some....damn

mine was free, as long as you have comprehensive and collision insurance its free for FL registered vehicles...

edit: Did 540's have different style side mirrors??

I wasn't paying it and so I didn't care. I did get factory glass, which ends up being the heated windshield from the E32. It was only $100 out of pocket as it was claimed on the insurance.
