Does Bmw use a softer glass on their front windshields ? I notice very subtle small pit marks on both of my cars windshields .I havent driven in any dust or sand storms. Is there a way to polish this out or hide it ?
Thanks

My Ride: 2004 BMW 530i - no mods. Pretty basic really. I mean it has tires, windows, and a sweet look, what more could a man want? Honestly, I'd like to improve the sound system mildly, and possibly find a worthy engine mod that would increase my BHP by 100 without giving an arm and a leg for. I don't think it's out there, so I'll stay stock and love driving my 530i.
Yeah mines all pitted also... It must be butter :-).

Do yourself a favor and leave a wide distance and lane between you and the those dump trucks and 18 wheelers. When in traffic during rush hour, I take as much care as when I'm parking at the Mall at Christmas time. Driving a 55K car makes you a better driver, just my opinion.

My Ride: 530I Silver gray with gray leather with Premium Package, Logic 7 Premium sound system with Ipod interface, xenon adaptive headlights, Active steering, Power retractable rear sunshade, Comfort seats, Cold weather package and M5 OEM 166 wheels, Sprintbooster. Ceramic Tint all around, Bilstein Sports shocks with Eibach springs, Brake performance Rotors and Axxis ceramic pads.
I am on my third bimmer and all of them have the neddle size pit on them. I agree that BMW windshields are softer or atleast easy to get pitted. On my last bimmer, I replace the windshield with non OEM and seem to be better.
