It'll be the spec BMW have given them that's the issue and was in my experience with St. Gobain as well. All my M cars have had sugar glass windscreens whether St. Gobain or Pilkingtons.

I don't post often but I think it's time to share my experience on this subject. Brand new M2, first drive on the highway (17 miles on the car) and bam, a rock hits the right side of the windshield and produces a foot long crack.
Replaced the windshield with BMW OEM glass. I kid you not, 300 miles later, hop on the same highway and bam, tiny pebble hits the bottom and chips the damn windshield. You've got to be kidding me!!! I agree, this is cheap/thin glass. Absolutely ridiculous!!! |

I have like 10 rock chips at ~15K miles. Granted I drive on a fast freeway with lots of trucks, but it’s still frustrating. I cringe every time I hear impact. The other day I saw one coming it was so big. I wasn’t even that close to a car at the time... flying rocks have range.

I have a lot of chips on my windshield. I plan to replace it soon. But I understand that replacing the windshield is quite expensive. That is why I decided to try to fix the problems myself and with the help of the repair kits I read about on the site https://www.carwindshields.info/rock-chip-repair to fix the situation. There are a lot of chips on my glass from stones that hit it on the freeway. This is my eternal problem. And it is with the help of repair kits that I want to solve it.

I currently have ExoShield installed, typical charge is around $500-600 and well worth it. They will replace windshield if it cracks with their product installed for the first 2 years or 30k miles. I went to Elite AF in the Bay (San Jose).

After being in f30’s for about five years I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought the BMW glass quality is far worse than prior generations. My windshield is a mess
