Need new windshield and have some questions
I'm getting the windshield replaced due damage. Are there any easy options I might now be able to add like pedestrian warning,lane change or active cruise control? Anything to look out for with the windshield replacement? better windshield glass options, things to do while windshield is out, helpful tips, advice etc? Thanks

I had a rock hit my MY 18 M3 last Sunday and I'm still waiting on Safelite to locate an OEM replacement windshield. I was told they had to order it from the dealership.

This is wrong. It is a completely different wiring harness for this option.

Had my F30 windshield replaced with OEM version glass cost $1800 included labor and rain sensor. My indy shop order the HUD OEM glass from dealer and they did the installation, requested for OEM don't settle with third party glass.

I always use Clearplex over my original OEM glass to avoid situations like this. It's saved me a number of times over the years on multiple vehicles.

I haven't changed it on my 200 series Land Cruiser for over 3 years. All good, but YMMV.

If you have hud I think oem is only choice, not sure about non hud version. I had mine replaced by safelite a year ago. I also had to wait for the glass cuz they wont just get it from the nearest dealer, they have their own channnels or use one dealership. The guy did very good job. Its less than an hour job . Cost was nine hundred something paid by insurance.
