Windsheild Replacment HUD blurry?
In January I caught a rock to the corner of my windshield on my shiny new M5. Called a local dealer (BMW South Kansas City) and was told (sold) that the only choice was BMW glass. Took a deep breath, paid the $1800+ installation.
Less than 30 days later the glass cracked. Clearly not from an impact - it was split right down the middle of the windshield starting at the review mirror - nevertheless, they wouldn't replace the glass so I took option two and went with Safelite and insurance. Glass looks exactly like OEM (minus the BMW stamp) however, it seems like my HUD is blurry. I could be being paranoid but thought I'd post here to see if anyone has had a similar experience and, if so, recommendations. |

Did you tell them you had a HUD on your car when they replaced the windshield? HUDs requires a completely polarized windshield. See link:

You ended up paying TWICE?????? Dealer told you to pound sand? New windshield split down the middle? WTF? That happened probably due to improper installation. There is either a point of impact or not. Does your insurance not cover glass? Perhaps add glass coverage? If possible you should have immediately called credit card company and disputed the payment to the dealer. You have a month or more to do that. That's BS. BMW should have eaten the second windshield just to be decent to a customer. They clearly don't give a hoot (put in a different word here) about selling you another car.
