I know this sounds strange, but I have had this on other X5s. I clean and clean and inside the glass, you can see tiny bits of what look like a haziness or sand. THANK GOD this is not right over the driver view. On both 40e and 35d, the defects are either in the middle or upper
passenger side.

Overall, the front glass is not great. I am a "clean freak", and cannot drive the car with the front glass dirty. When I know the glass could not be any cleaner, when direct light is hitting the front glass....the glass is just not crystal clear. It is the glass, not any dirt/dust/oil. Annoying!!

I agree, not great quality control in terms of glass!!
Thanks for your reply, deutsch100.

Very strange what's going on with their glass.

Curious how they're pumping out so many with defects and people either don't realize same or just live with.

Miss you - and many others that've left - on the F01/02 boards.

Happy Holidays!
