My neighborhood is kinda crazy...someone broke over 10 cars window and I got my 2 cars window broken! Cop came and take report.
I filed a claim with the Insurance company, would they charge this as "HIT and RUN"?
What is your recommendation and how much would it be to fix this one broken window glass?
Do I need go to dealer to get it fix or any bodyshop would be ok? I was wondering if BMW has it own like OEM Glass?

I had the same problem with my Camry and some one broke the window to open the car to steal my mother's bag. I got it fixed by insurance without deductible
Contact safelite , they should be doing it for around $ 150 and your insurance will cover it if you have glass coverage

lifetime warranty by the insurance company? do I get it fix at a BMW dealership for a OEM glass?
i checked oem glass and it is like less than 100 for the side door and you can probably get window guys to do it for like 1hr labor which should be rough 50$ + glue

As an FYI, most dealers send glass work out to specialized shops. Using BMW labeled glass in that small rear window is a personal choice. There, OEM glass is perfectly fine, IMHO. Most independent glass shops will complete that work at your home or work location.

2007 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer, loaded w/o Nav
Those side glasses can cost as much as, or more, than windshields- believe it or not.
Good luck.
Some A-hole came through my neighborhood, and broke the windshields on 32 cars...
We had a new 2006 Ford Fusion at the time- so new we hadn't even made the first payment yet, and we had to replace the windshield. A year before that, some thief broke into my Expedition and stole my Valentine One. So, with two glass break claims in 12 months, my insurance rate went up.
______ing Progressive....
