The X3 is a stone magnet. On my very first trip with it, perhaps 50 miles, I landed a stone from nowhere (there was nobody in front of me!) that left the windscreen needed changing. Doh.
Since then, I had a few others, luckily no other marks on the glass; quite a few on the paint tho :/

Had our X3 a year and got a chip while on highway (M5 !) - had it filled, can still notice it but its passenger side so not an issue.

I think I can top everyone's rock chip story. Some years ago we picked up our new lease Ford in the company parking lot, drove less than 1 mile down the road and bang! there was the first chip. Some areas are really bad for windshields and Colorado is one of them.
Our 2011 X3 with 30K miles has had just one windshield replacement thus far, done by the dealer (Schomp BMW, Highlands Ranch). The $1200 cost was fully covered by insurance because I (sadly) anticipated regular windshield replacement. I think that the rain sensor is an integral part of the windshield and not something added later. Similarly, if you have the heads-up display, the windshield comes specially coated on the inside. I would assume that any of the big glass shops are up on all this and can do a good job. |
