I just had my factory windshield replaced last week. Most replacement glass is made by the same maunfacturer as the OEM glass, so I personally went with the "aftermarket" version to avoid the extra costs. So far no complaints.

Well, for more info read my extensive windshield post.
But in a nut shell...The dealer wanted $1,400. I went to the local glass company and was charged $600 and change. Want to know the best part?? They do all of BMW's installs here in Ft Lauderdale!! I asked that they utilize OEM glass and that was not a problem. You may want to purchase the comfort glass. It has a slight tint to it.

Thank You for the comments, the BMW replacement is $486.00 but they want $700.00 for installation the aftermarket is $600.00 all together, I think I’ll ask Safelite to use the Original BMW and will pay the difference instead of going to the dealer.

In Florida, there is a law that insurance has to cover all windshield repairs and replacements at no cost to the customer (no deductible), as a safety issue. Of course, the companies make up for it by increased premiums! Anyway, I have a small rock chip in my windshield, and will get the windshield fixed soon, because it will cost me nothing. If I had to pay for it, I would leave it alone.
