Rejex works great at minimizing bug splats on the windshield.

Rejex, and washing often works for me.

I will remove the buggers each time I get the chance, because I can't stand the look of a windshield full of mutilated insects or leftovers.
Driving very slowly is also known to be an effective 'preventive measure', but most beemer owners have a problem with this one...

Extra Gloss Protection from Autoglym has worked perfect for me. Drove 1500 km last week, and whatever bugs were left on the front were easily removed with mildly temperated, soapy water from a high pressure hose.
IMHO the car is also extremely shiny.

I use RejeX (like Andy545), Clear Bra, wash bugs soon after smashing and after light soaking with water hose, and use a nylon mesh-wrapped sponge. I also use RejeX on the windshield like stream does.
