Bmw say the plastic parts either side of the window have to be replaced and there like £35 each.

is it worth going to bmw or will auto glass do just as good of job?
I would go to BMW and keep it all OEM replacement. If you go to local glass biz they are not going to use OEM glass and they will more than likely just reuse the plastic parts in order to keep their cost down. Unfortunately, sometimes shit happens and you have to pay. I have a couple of small chips in my windshield as well. Waiting to bring the car in for service and I'll have BMW fix them for me.
