Interesting to hear so many people recommending the OE glass at the dealership. Is this to avoid issues with the HUD and wiper sensors?
When I owned my E46, the recommendations and my personal experience were the exact opposite. The windshields from the factory were really soft and would chip/pit VERY easily. Mercifully, mine cracked one winter due to a rock strike from a tractor and was replaced. The aftermarket glass from the windshield replacement place looked nearly new after five years while the original glass was so pitted you almost couldn't see through it after three.
