Mine got hit by a flying rock & cracked, all I had to pay was my deductible, $200. It was fairly pitted and scratched from the windshield wipers (damn soft glass), and I was considering replacing it out of my own pocket, the rock was well timed I guess. I can look up to see if the receipt has the total cost if you're interested. FYI, I opted for PPG glass given that the windshield has had the windshield wiper scratches for some time, and the car has 80k miles. Andrej '97 M3
