I did a safelite replacement through Geico and had no problems at all..
no deductible either...

I think my coverage allows for one replacement per year...

safelite did a home visit and realized it wasn't an ordinary windshield and immediately placed an order for the right replacement.

Not sure where it came from (BMW, third-party, etc)

I waited a few days for them to get it and they swapped it out in less than 2 hours that saturday..

they were very professional and iI can't tell the difference... they even transferred all stickers perfectly...

these guys are pros.

and no out of pocket cost.

thank you Geico...

So this thread prompts me to ask what a windshield for a 2011 x5 with rain sensing PLUS HUD would costs to replace.

No issues yet but I live in CO and this place is notorious for cracked windshields

Anyone with a newer model get one replaced and if so what did it run?

isn't the HUD built into the dash area and not on the windshield?

i thought it only projected the image...

anyway.. check with your insurance carrier... they usually have it included with your coverage.. (some with deductibles, some without)

you may also be able to upgrade your plan to cover this... and it's probably a minimal cost upgrade option...

don't know why people are paying so much for these windshield replacements...
