OEM Windshield

[SteelGreyM]

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
Btw you can't really see the purple hue in person like on the Mercedes and land rovers, the bmw glass is much more subdued... It really only pops in pictures when used with polarized filters mainly.

Wow. I want a climate comfort windshield now. I doubt you can actually see the purple. Or at least it'll be something i'll get used to. Are the windshields on every e46 the same? Mine has an annoying amount of pitting and theres LOTS of great used option at ridiculously low prices

Yes, that would be desired, but looking to avoid the purplish hue of the climate comfort:

I think every car came standard with Climate comfort. Green strip too. The green strip can sometimes look blue against the sky. Rain sensor is not standard.

At least in the US, standard was the green strip, no climate comfort.

Climate comfort is a pretty nice feature, but one downside is that it blocks radar detector signal.

I'd love to have climate comfort glass, didn't know that was an option. Anyone have experience with it that can speak to its effectiveness? My car is a furnace here in LA

Isn't climate comfort UV resistance? Why would you not want that?
