What kind of windshield is this?

[X5SND]

This is what it looks like in person...



I'm not sure why it turns purple under a polar lens....but it does. The ones on the S class's and Porsche trucks are much more pink, where as the range rover ones are very similar to the one on the X.

Ditto what the others already mentioned.

All you have to do is go to one of the online part databases (like realoem.com) and pull up the diagrams for the glass (VEHICLE TRIM {main group} & GLAZING {sub group}). Once you have the 11 digit BMW part nbr...anyone that works in the industry should be able to access the BMW glass or the equivalent aftermarket based on its BMW part nbr:

Also take note of the supplemental columns for item #1 in the part database for the other options your X5 may have:

I used my VIN for this part nbr link...if anyone's X is built prior to 10/2001...you should input your own VIN for correct part nbrs:

RealOEM.com * BMW E53 X5 4.4i Glazing

Can you run a radar detector, etc through this? Seems like I remember that there was a small window at the bottom only for such applications.
