So here's what you need to do.
1.) Never get non OE glass. that crap they sell from safelite is utter garbage and it only lasts 1 year of highway driving. it's no where near the specifications of OE auto glass. after 1 year you'll have millions of sand chips making the glass have a white haze and hard to see through, blinding in direct sun... it's all scam glass designed to keep you having to replace it ever year or two... just like monroe mufflers made out of 2 sheets of aluminum foil
2.) ALWAYS use the insurance and get BMW original glass... depending on your insurance company, they may fight you on it... but don't back down.. all german cars qualify for true OE glass.. it's substantially more and you get the right glass and quality that will last many years.
3.) you'll need to tell the dealer you want the REAL glass, and have them order it. might take a week or two to get it but worth the wait. You have to be EXPLICIT with the dealer, or they will just charge you a crap ton and have safelite come out. It MUST have the BMW logo's and everything.
4.) carry your receipt in case you get pulled over for cracked glass. most police will let you off if you show the glass is on order.
5.) if the dealer will let you buy and use the BMW warranty - well do that!
Oh and BTW - Glass doesn't have a deductible - should be 100% covered. This usually goes on your insurance as a "mark" but won't increase your rates, but if you try to switch insurance companies they might see it as a small claim. if falls off after 5 years.
