If your out of pocket on comprehensive is really $500 (mine is 100 precisely becuase I do 2 windshields a year on 5 cars we drive) then just spend the extra 200 (ie over the 300 for PPG) and get OE glass- AND 'BMW installation methods and materials'. No comprehensive claim will increase your rates, BTW.
I am less concerned with the actual glass, and more concerned with the install methods, materials and precise placement to ensure no wind noise, etc.

I beg to differ. Had a 2006 330 xi. Windshield cracked and Safelite did the repair. No issue.
As stated earlier MINI Cooper had 2 windshields replaced by Safelite. The guy that did the work on my car is a pro and fast. And he is a nice guy too.
I would definitely recommend Safelite.
BMW Method? A windshield is a replaceable item like an oil filter or brake pads. The guys that replace them and do a good job, they know what they are doing. They are factory trained and these guys do this stuff all day long, at least 10 times a day.
