The best way to guarantee the right windscreen is to have one ordered through the dealer. Even then, calibrating the Eye-Sight comes down to the replacement method. They need to replace any gel pads or adhesives used between the cameras and any other sensors the system uses. Fingers crossed they don't hit or knock the cameras when removing & refitting. The number of cars we see for a windscreen recalibration with poor workmanship or cameras requiring re-aiming ($45k of equipment needs to be ordered in) is horrific unfortunately... Could an option be you add windscreen cover to your policy now and hold out on the claim until the next WOF? For my 2c, I had a rear windscreen replaced by Smith & Smith (forget the branch) they used second hand glass, snapped the aerial wires off left hanging and left a lot of glass in the car. They refused to ever use second hand glass, and said they were not qualified or equipped to remove all the glass from within the boot... Their tune changed I had my insurance company involved...

A bit late, but on Tuesday/Wednesday had my car in to Crowesport for its free service and install the replacement dash. Runs so much smoother and the dash looks sooo good. Can't fault their removal and installation, looks just like factory, no gaps or rattles.

If you're planning an insurance fraud might as well just delete this post. Insurance companies are not as dumb as some might think. And my $0.02. I had a heated windscreen of my BH5 initially replaced by Novus - installed a LHD made in China special with heated strip on the opposite side from where RHD ones are. Left a decent mess as well. After a few phone calls to my insurance company a new genuine glass was ordered from Japan. S&S installed it and did a stellar job. Though they were obviously toldb by the insurer to not furk it up or else they won't get paid. If bimmers glass gets farked I'd be going straight to the dealer and let them talk to my insurance company. Way too many sensors, cameras as well as a HUD set-up.

Yeah I might do that, should have mentioned it's in passengers side and isn't that visible really. I might have to do what you said

When I checked the car for you I remember the guy saying it was a pain in the ass getting the windscreen replaced for it as that version never had I-Sight according to the glass places. Had to take it in and they had to source one especially made for it.

did they run out of money to re-cover the seats ?

$1,895 for a redline exhaust holey hecka! haha get a custom turbo back built for three quarters the price.

Should really stop listening to @Tony and go back to the semi-budget build 🙄
