Compare BMW windscreen replacement quotes from specialist garages

Looming hundreds of feet up in Munich's skyline is BMW's headquarters, a vast and impressive building designed to look like four engine cylinders - the configuration that drove much of the brand's early success.

BMW has come a long way since 1927, when it produced its first car, the Dixi, shortly to be renamed the BMW 3/15. In 2022, it was awarded 'Best Manufacturer' at the AutoCar Britain's Best Car Awards, and the same year, it triumphed at the WhatCar? Awards, winning more accolades than any other brand. The M5 special edition, celebrating 20 years of BMW motorsport, is one of the rarest M automobiles in the world.

It's important to promptly take care of a chipped car windscreen because it could develop into a crack. The good news is that, as long as the chip is small and you catch it early, you can book a car windscreen repair, which is cheaper than a replacement.

For a repair, the chip must be smaller than a £2 coin, at least 3cm from the windscreen's edge and outside the driver's line of sight. You'll need to book a car windscreen replacement if the chip doesn't meet these criteria.

Replacing a broken car windscreen can be simplified into four steps. First, a protective covering is placed around the windscreen area, and the seals or glue that holds the glass in place are cut from the car. Next, a primer agent is applied to the framework, and the glass is replaced. You should use professional car windscreen fitters for this job.
