I paid $250 deductible and just had insurance pay the dealership the rest. I think it was about $2200 all in for me last year (live in Texas).

So what the insurance is doing is having a third party come to my house and replace the glass and related parts with new BMW parts then sending it to my dealer for calibration which they are paying for. Guess it's cheaper for the insurance that way and my dealer can make sure they did the job correctly
