Good luck with that. Odds are about 0 they will give you a BMW OE glass. IMO.

In fact if you say "I want OEM BMW" they may well install a Pilkington, and then say- should you wonder where the BMW logo is after the fact- "Oh, this is OEM BMW since Pilkington is the OEM supplier (maybe?) and therefore this is OEM BMW....so whats your problem?"

I will only use OE glass AND OE INSTALL METHODS.

Most folks have no idea at all as to how this is done- they assume that the guy coming to do the glass will (of course) use BMW procedures..... But generally they whack out the old and glue in a new one, hold it in place, and owners drive off.


I only use a shop that has the procedures and orders the entire install kit from BMW.

And how do I get insurance to cover it? Simple: The mobile installers, safelite, etc, cannot tell you that the car's safety certification will not be impacted by the replacement. Unless they follow BMW procedures, they cannot give you a written assurance- because it has never been validated/certified. ( And while the glue they use may pass certain tests, that isnt all of it!)
