The crack is quite bad and needs repairing but I might try and leave it and move away from Direct Line when renewal comes up in 6 weeks time!!

Anyone any idea of how much BMW would charge! (besides silly money)?

This is exactly the reason i didn't insure with Direct Line despite them being the cheaper option. I asked the specific question about genuine glass and they said that they wouldn't authorise it.

Also, they will give you £125 towards doing it yourself but you still have to give THEM your excess!!!!

I believe a genuine screen is around £350 plus fitting. If i were you, id go with your second option.....


PS. Admiral will authorise a genuine screen for a car under 3 years old with no hassle......
