2018 Bmw X3 Wipers & Visibility Problems

After your windshield was replaced with an OEM part following road debris damage, you're experiencing a strong reflection of the head-up display in the middle of your view during sunny driving conditions, which is distracting and different from your original windshield. Your BMW service center confirmed the issue exists and that BMW engineers are aware of similar reports, but BMW stated there's nothing they will do about it. The reflection disappears when driving in shade, and there are no warning lights related to the problem.

Something is wrong with the BMW OEM windshields with HUD. I have had to completely replace 3 in 5 years. In between replacements have had Safeliite try and fill pits in it. My last windshield lasted 21 days before cracking on the side at the very edge. I was driving and the road construction had very uneven lane heights so the car was higher on the passenger side. All of the sudden I heard a crack. The was not rock or debris that hit the windshield. There have been lots of complaints about the BMW windshields with HUD especially the X series SUV’s. People are saying softer glass. All I know is this is dangerous and BMW is up charging for replacement windshields if you don’t have insurance or a warranty. The cost is in the thousands for the replacement. I’ve never had a car that had such issues with the windshield being damaged so easily and or faulty glass. My last windshield replacement was 6/29/23, cracked 7/20/23
