Cheaply windscreen replacement for your BMW 5-Series

When it comes to the best-selling BMW models, the BMW 5-Series is high up on the list, right behind the absolute number 1, the 3-Series. The 5-Series has been in production since 1972, and is still being manufactured by the German car maker today. The counter has now reached well over five million. If you are the owner of one of these vehicles and the windscreen of your BMW 5-Series needs to be replaced, it is wise to first have a look at after market automotive glass, which can save you a lot of money.

Before we look at the cost of a new BMW 5-Series windscreen, let's take a look at the model of BMW that has become an incredible success.

1972; the year of birth of the BMW 5-Series

In 1972, the first BMW 5-Series rolled out of the factory. The sedan model replaced the sedan line that was in production at the time and was given a four-cylinder engine. The six-cylinder was introduced a year later. A real top-of-the-range model (an M-model or High Performance) was not added to the first generation, this would only happen with the second generation which saw the light of day in 1981.

The E28 models (the second generation of the BMW 5-Series) immediately received a four-cylinder and a six-cylinder, both petrol engines. Two years after its introduction, a diesel engine was added to the BMW 5-Series E28 engine range. The second generation was also the point at which the first M5 was produced.

It was not until the third generation (1988-1996) that more types were added to the BMW 5-Series; the Touring was added to the sedan models. Also, from this point on, the BMW 5-Series got a V8 engine, all-wheel drive and you could choose from no less than 9 different engines under the bonnet.

Generations 4 to 7 of the BMW 5-Series

From 1995 to 2003, the fourth generation (E39) was produced, after which the fifth generation would roll out of the factories from 2003 to 2010. The engine range was updated, as were the technological marvels we have come to expect from BMW. The sixth generation was produced from 2010 to 2017, after which the seventh generation of the legendary model was born.

The top-of-the-range BMW M5 CS

Every generation except the first has had a top model for the BMW 5-Series. It would be too much to review all models, but the BMW M5 CS should not be missing on a page about the 5-Series. Admittedly, it is not a car you go shopping with. Nor is it a 'second car in the driveway'. It is a monster. The BMW M5 CS is by definition a car that grabs your attention, whether or not thanks to its 635 bhp, sleek looks or attention to detail in design.

Going from 0 to 100 km/h takes just 3 seconds. Roadholding in bends is optimal. And thanks to the weight reduction, this model guarantees stunning performance. BMW has even decided to make the advertisement a piece of art, which does the BMW M5 CS justice.

Has the BMW 5-Series been a success?

The BMW 5-Series is the definition of success. At the time of writing, the model has already been sold more than 115,000 times in the Netherlands. In Europe, the 5-Series models also caught on; as early as January 2008, the 5 millionth model of the BMW 5-Series was made. The only BMW model that has sold better than the 5-Series is the BMW 3-Series.

When does your BMW 5-Series need windscreen replacement?

Windscreen damage is annoying, but damage to your windscreen does not always mean that it needs to be replaced. On the contrary, in most cases windscreen damage is not a reason to panic, especially when the chip is out of sight of the driver. There are two cases where the windscreen does need replacing. A chip with a diameter of at least 20 millimetres or a branched crack, both of which are in your field of vision when you are behind the wheel.

If the window damage is outside your field of vision or if the damage is limited, you can just drive on; this is not a rejection point for the MOT. However, it is wise to keep an eye on the crack or chip. The window could crack further.

How much does a new BMW 5-Series windscreen cost?

How can we offer new windscreens for BMW 5-Series so cheaply?

Our new windscreens for BMW models are significantly cheaper than the ones your BMW dealer has. This is remarkable, because the quality of the automotive glass is identical. Our windscreens are even made in the same factory as those of your dealer. The big difference is the logo in the automotive glass. BMW windscreens with a brand logo may only be sold by the BMW dealer. So you pay for the exclusive character while the brand logo does nothing for the glass itself. That's why we only offer car windows without the brand logo.
