Rear windshield replacement

[Olive]

Hi everyone,

Vincent, who bought my CSL some time ago now is looking to change the rear windshield because the coper lines are not fonctionnal anymore and the fog cannot be removed.

I think we do have 2 options :

1- Find an OEM replacement part. But it seems that reference is now discontinued from BMW.

2 - Find someone to refurbish the copper lines. So far I did not find any adress for this kind of job.

Does anyone already faced this issue ? Do you have some goods advises ?

Thanks

:thumbs:

Hi,
Unfortunately I think the only option now is to fit the rear screen from a regular E46 M3
High probability of damage to the glass when removing as well which a shame.

Please, can you confirm the part number reference ? After a call here in France to a BMW dealer it stil confirms that reference is not orderable and neither in stock or make to order.
