I ordered weeks ago and nothing. I did get a call saying that the delivery was delayed due to closed businesses and I don't know where I'm going to put it so I'm good that it isn't ready for pick up yet.

I ordered a couple weeks ago. They called Monday and said it arrived..."looking like a truck ran over it", and would have to reorder. They called back today saying new one was here. In both cases dealer said it was shipped to them from inside the US, and thought a batch had been shipped to the US.

Good to see these orders going smoothly! Sounds like BMW shipped in a container of windshields from Germany for distribution here. That should make fulfillments even faster. I wonder how many remain at this point.

Currently:
Four in Minooka, IL, and five in Nazareth, PA.
If I"m reading this correctly, there may be another seven at the CDC in Dingolfing.

Nazareth, PA is the warehouse that my local dealer is working with providing some rock bottom pricing. It's a trial by the dealer, the way the warehouse delivers to the customer the order processing and large order if necessary. I could have had the windshield shipped for 230 or picked up for a 20 delivery to the dealer fee. Nazareth is moving product and some dealers are handling the customer interface at good prices.

Maybe I misunderstood but your dealer shouldn't have to pay any fee to get parts from any BMW NA parts depot. :dunno:

I don't think I've been charged that fee,yet. Might be the dealership charging. I'll know more when I pick it up. Can't complain, it's about the lowest price I've seen in this thread.

Now they're showing 12 in the USA and still 7 at CDC. Yours is a good price. Don't worry, they're still making a profit!

I wonder if this will be it like when the Parts Pimp used to burn thru all BMW stock on things like sunshades and they'll just be gone forever, or if they'll commission more since they're selling and they don't make them themselves?

Currently showing only 5 left in USA and none at the CDC, though it does indicate "on order" which may mean the 7 that were in Dingolfing are en route to the USA. Don't know. Parts is about the only job I've not held at a dealership.

I got mine in two days. Not sure about myself, but my car should definitely feel stimulated by my stimulus bucks. Behold...BMW solid gold (or may as well be) B35 oil pump and Saint-Gobain windshield.

A similar thing, yet it's different...last fall, the U-joint on the steering shaft in my 325iX started binding up. I had my local independent repair shop order one, but they were on back order. I just got a call yesterday that it's finally arrived from Germany.

An oil pump and a windshield? Man, how many stimulus checks are you getting?

Well, y'know... I'm blessed to still be receiving my paychecks I suppose. My running e28 parts spreadsheet just surpassed $10k over the past two years. :shock:

Wanted to post here first. I unfortunately lost my car shortly after delivery to a fire, so my new windshield is no longer needed.

I will be posting it for sale. I payed $302 and would like to get $275. It is currently at the dealership, so local pickup near Boston, MA would be necessary unless you can work something out with them for shipping.

Feel free to message me- if I do not hear anything I will be posting it up in the classifieds.

This is no longer available. Thanks!

-Matt

Darn - found this thread a tad too late. Just heard back from my contact at Calgary BMW. Germany shows zero stock, none in Canada.

I'm not sure if his system can see US quantities or not. If there are any left there, grab em while you can!
