I wouldn’t replace the windows on a new car that’s for sure. They probably need to take off the inside of the door and who knows what else. You could easily end up with rattles. That’s if they don’t mess anything else while doing it. Good luck.

You letting them know you have posted this story is not going to make them comfortable... Just so there's no misunderstanding, by all means, post away, there's nothing wrong with that, but don't alert BMW NA that you have / are... |

BMW NA is a business and I don't expect them to behave irrationally against their own interests. At this point, I see no incentive for them to go out of their way to help me. After all, I'm just one customer and the law of large numbers is in their favor. |

was hoping BMWNA would make good of this situation, or at the least help in anyone possible. |

Millions of us get tints - requires opening of certain trim / door panels... Nobody would get window tints if that were the case... People get wraps / protective film, etc... This requires removal of handles, emblems, etc - nobody would do this if you couldn't put the car back together... It's just a M5... It's not built by hand, it's mostly machine... If this was a Pagani or Koenigsegg, yes please leave as is... I've had windshields replaced due to cracks or chips and they were done on M's and AMG's... At the end of the day, nothing was compromised (well, except when the F10 was brand new and 1 week in I had to replace glass and they accidentally swapped it with one not equipped for hud lol) and nobody knew except me and the autoglass repair dude... Get it, enjoy it... Just ask them to replace the glass... Life's too short to stress about something like this for so long - there's far greater fucked up shit out here and things that can't be fixed as simply as "replacing glass..." |

It's just a car. That said, it's your car (or was/could be) and therefore your choice but I fundamentally don't understand. |

As ridiculous as the dealers actions have been, rejecting the car for this reason seems excessive. I don't see why you wouldn't simply replace the glass (doors only).
Trim comes off a car for many reasons. Who's to say that this special edition car won't have rattles from the factory, requiring the door cards to be removed anyway? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the gravity of what they've done, though I feel that you will ultimately be the one to miss out on the opportunity to own something special.

Sorry to hear. Sucks dealer did that. Sounds pretty slimy.
Regardless of outcome it would be cool if BMW NA extended some kind of gesture in appreciation of your patronage. Maybe a free M performance driving course? |

To the OP, I would go to a certified BMW body shop. They change out glass 50 times a day and I'm sure could fix your problem very easily. You may have had a bad experience with body shops in the past, but a certified BMW body shop can fix this with no rattles or issues.

Why don't you just have them replace all the glass?
