OEM Windshield

[heinzboehmer]

Has anyone ordered a windshield to the US through Schmiedmann? Price comes to $388.61 after shipping, but I have a feeling duties will make it ridiculous.

Seems rather expensive to me still, I can get this part number from my dealer for 178 EUR, they have a nice markup in place for sure.

However I am not sure if they will even ship a windshield to the US, haha.

Schmiedmann can and does update shipping charges after the order goes through (obviously they email and ask whether to proceed or cancel). I’ve tried ordering a “cheap” headliner multiple times and the shipping always goes up by hundreds. Ended up buying one at the dealer.

Good to know. Doubt they'll ship over here, but I'll give the local dealers a call.

That's disappointing, but not unexpected. I've emailed them to see what they say. I'll report back.

they wont ship glass unfortunately. I tried once to order a Infrared windscreen from a euro sedan that had rain sensor but they cancelled the order and said they can not ship windshields. I even offered to waive liability if anything was broken just to take a chance that it came over safely but they said no.

IR windscreen is the best.

Why would you avoid the purple goodness 😁

I have the infared windshield on my sedan. There's a cutout center top area for toll passes and radar detectors

Hey nextelbuddy (or anyone else with this glass) - do you have a picture that shows this cutout area? I've looked at several pics in the google machine and can't seem to find any that show that cutout.

I'm in the market for a windshield, want the infrared windshield (love purple goodness), but absolutely need a radar detector cutout. Per RealOEM, pretty sure it's part #: 51317059703

Try asking your local dealer to price match GetBMWParts or any of the other vast number of dealers that all use the same underlying software. When I have been ordering larger parts that make shipping cost-prohibitive for my current project (Euro bumper, radiators, windshield cowl, etc.), I order through the dealer and go pick it up myself. It gets rid of freight charges completely. It's awesome.

Thank you!

A radar detector can get that high up there, mounted on the glass?

For some reason I didn't think with where the rearview mirror (and headliner) is in that picture, the radar detector would fit there. My car is currently in a million pieces so was having a hard time remembering/visualizing that interior space. I'll go back to my pics...

Appreciate it!

Wouldn't need a radar detector if you drove the speed limit.

Just saying...

Most of us wouldn't be driving M3s if we only ever drove speed limit.

Great point. We should just sell these 8K RPM machines and roll in Chevy Volts instead. I wonder how a Volt would look in Shark Blue...
