Tell us how you really feel. 
Dubai still has debris so you might have a chance there as well to get hit with flying debris. Sorry about your windshield

Sorry about your windshield bro, it happens to a lot of us (mine was replaced in March). Just make sure you get OEM glass and you'll be fine. Our cars have the rain sensor built into the windshield, so it's better to get OEM replacement glass. Good luck

My Ride: Car
Happened to me 2 weeks after we bought our brand new 525xi a few years back. I was PISSED. I went through insurance and they directed me to Glasslite. They used OEM glass from a local dealer and the cost to me was zero since it happened while the car was moving in traffic. Try going through insurance or it will be expensive.
