    Angry Desperate for Front Windshield

    Title says it all , mine looks like I ran over a person due to me hitting it in a moment of rage over a year ago with an open palm (it already had a crack) and it shattered . I still DON'T regret doing it . I really didn't get lucky with my 850s and in that moment I was arguing with someone regarding what they were telling me to do with the cars which I disagreed with . I SHOULD go on and sell them as is and cut my losses (I have two) but that means admitting defeat and I do not like to lose so I'm going to continue enduring this pain and rage until I either die or they are in excellent condition . Please help , please haha

    Have you tried the dealer? I got a new one 3 months ago and BMW still had them.

    Mine couldn't locate one , went to different windshield dealers , no luck , ebay has none either for a long time . Wuffer is the closest guy to me in canada who disassembles cars and hasn't had any in a long time . Where are you located and how much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking ?

    I live in Florida. Don't know what it cost, as Florida requires insurance companies to pay 100% for front windshields. When mine broke on the CSi, I just requested that the insurance company replace it with genuine BMW glass as in the past it has been noted by some that there have been some issues with reproduction windshields, although I have never had any experience with this. It took Safelite about 3 weeks to locate one, and they came out and replaced it after it arrived.

    It was put in around January of this year.

    In tiny Nova Scotia I was able to source one for 950 dollars CAD installed. BMW had them and quoted me 1400 CAD. Don't give up! Also, wasn't there one listed in the classifieds section recently? Don't know if it sold or not.

    I am in Arizona. Got mine through the BMW North Scottsdale dealership. They ordered it from their "warehouse" in Jersey.
