The 2010 BMW 328i 4 door sedan has some different options for windshield types.

Our first question is Can the damage to the windshield be covered by a dollar bill? if it can then it’s possible it can be repaired.  If the damage is larger then a dollar bill then it has to be replaced.

Below are some additional questions we would like to ask you.

Does your windshield have a rosy tint and a reflective finish?  If you answer Yes to this question then the replacement windshield your vehicle needs has a rain sensor, condensation sensor and is solar coated.  Please make sure you select the correct part from our drop down menu so the part the technician brings is the correct replacement part.

If it does not have the rosy finish then the next question we have is:

Do the windshield wipers automatically increase in speed as the quantity of rain increases or do you know if you have a rain sensor?  If your answer is yes then your replacement windshield should have a rain sensor and condensation sensor.

If you do not have the rain sensor feature then the replacement windshield you need will just have the condensation sensor.

If you are not sure which windshield your focus has you can call us with your VIN number and we can contact the dealership and find out for you.

This 2000, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 BMW 328 has a rain sensor feature option. Please select the part windshield with rain sensor from the drop down menu if you have a rain sensor. If you are unsure if you have a rain sensor then you can provide us with the VIN when we schedule the appointment and we can confirm that you have that feature. Having the rain sensor feature doesn’t always necessarily mean that your replacement windshield will be more expensive.

If you are not sure which options your vehicle has there’s a few ways we can help you out. The Vin number or vehicle identification number is usually the best way to help us determine what glass replacement part option you have. The vehicle identification number does not include a glass part indication in the 17 character vin code however it does help us determine which parts are specific to your Vehicle.

The factory build sheet is the silver bullet to determining the exact options however finding that can be difficult. Most glass companies can help decode the vin and determine the part however some companies do not ask and may instead ask you to take pictures and send pictures to them to help determine what you have. Another way to find out what options you have on your Vehicle is to contact the local Dealership and speak to the parts department.

They will ask you for your vin and then they should be able to tell you what options your Vehicle has. If you call the dealer make sure to ask them for the Dealer Part Number (If they are willing to provide you with that). Each Dealership is privately owned. Some dealerships are part of a dealership group however some have policies that don’t allow them to give the customer the dealer part number or factory part number. The dealer part number will help the auto glass shop match the part needed for replacing the windshield on your vehicle.

Once you have the dealer part number/factory part number you can also use google to find other dealerships that might have your windshield available and even at a lower price. In situations where the vehicle is brand new the glass may not be available to the local auto glass shop or parts supplier so the dealership may be your only recourse.

Other Questions to Ask Auto Glass Shops when getting quotes.

Here are some questions you should be asking as a consumer to help you compare price quotes from different service providers.

Questions to ask how long is your warranty?
What does your warranty cover?
Does your price include tax?
Does your price include mobile service?
Does your price include glass disposal fees?

Will you provide a pre-scan and post scan printout upon completion of the calibration?

Most quotes will be for windshield replacements using “ARG” or “OEE” Aftermarket Replacement Glass and Original Equipment Equivalent

*If you are getting a windshield replacement make sure not to wash your car for 48 hours
