Oh mic, Bimmers are design to pass those trucks not following them 
Anyway sad to hear this, how much is it to replace a windshield. I saw on commercial that they have a way to fix a crack instead of replacing the whole thing as it will be expensive.

Luckly, my comprehensive insurance will cover the cost of replacing the windshield, but I have to pay the $3000 deductible. The whole thing cost over $12k according to my SA.
So guys, be careful on Route 3, that's the second time I got my windshield cracked by those flying stones there. My E46 has the exact damage at nearly the exact spot, damn!!! Why the stones only hit my bimmer?! But didn't hit my other car when I am driving there. :-(

Got hit while I am entering the Kwun Tong exit near the Cargo Terminal.
I have also experienced many flying stone at Route 3. Sometimes they come from no where! I just don't have a clue where it is coming from because there were absolutely no cars in front of me

Did you guys see the new carbon fiber add on for the regular bumper and the M-Tech bumper? The M-Tech looks like the one on the M3 CSL, quite nice to complement the M front. But the Carbon Fiber add-on for the regular bumper look wierd.
Here is the link to my thread

Finally got my car back with the new windshield, together with the new 2006 Accessories catalogue.

Actually, if that CF part is painted in body colour than not bad at all.
