I'm amazed that the OEM versions are already on the market since this car is so new.

Also - is it tinted? And do your rain sensors work? (Although in AZ - who would care?)
The manufacturer is Pilkington. It is the same as the windshield that comes from the factory (it has the little Roundel), as that the car is so new there are no other options. We had to wait for a delivery of windshields to arrive. Apparently on the 1-series it is a popular item.
We aren't permitted to tint the windshield in AZ, so no, it isn't tinted.
Everything works.
Also, someone said they had to leave their car at the dealership overnight to let it cure. It took 3 hours.
