I wonder if there is an issue with BMW glass in that area? Mine looks EXACTLY the same as the 2nd picture. Couple inches from the bottom all the way across. I could take a picture and place the cracks on on top of another.

I need to get it replaced, but it's still winter(gravel hazard), since it isnt at eye level it isnt really bothering me except for the embarrasment of driving a BMW with a broken windshield, and I don't want to spend $500 right now.
