So on first road trip with wife's new X3, 70 miles on odo, OOOPS! debris from other lane of I 25 S, Albuquerque NM, divots the windshield up high by drivers A pillar. Few days later in 99 degree heat, hit the A/C, ZIPPP! now we have a crack almost a foot long in driver line of sight. Luckily she had signed up for windshield replacement insurance at dealer. Got a free new one put in by dealer and it has the distortion over on the right side everyone is talking about. Glass these days does seem more prone to damage. Glass on my 540 I lasted 90K until I bumped the mirror with my head and tore a chunk out of the inside of the glass. Is there such a thing as "soft" glass?
