Vehicle Application and Function

The offered windshield is dedicated for installation in the rear of the vehicle, within the trunk lid area. As a structural component of the body, it is responsible for:

• rigidity and stability of the rear body section,
• proper sealing of the luggage compartment,
• safe rearward visibility while maintaining comfortable tinting.

Thanks to the use of AS3 class glass, the windshield effectively limits interior heating, which is particularly noticeable in vehicles with larger glazed areas. At the same time, appropriate transparency is maintained, which is crucial for driving safety and the operation of driver-assistance systems that rely on rearward visibility.

Technical Characteristics and Benefits of AS3 Tinting

Glass marked as AS3 is a solution with an increased degree of tinting, used as standard in many BMW equipment versions. In practice, this means:

• better protection against solar radiation in the rear cabin,
• reduction of light reflections in the rearview mirror,
• a more subdued, visually cohesive rear of the vehicle.

When replacing the rear windshield in a BMW F13, using a part with the same tinting class allows for maintaining a uniform appearance of all glazed areas and compliance with the factory specification. This is particularly important in premium cars, where aesthetics and repeatability of optical parameters are of great importance for further operation and potential resale of the vehicle.

Original Origin and BMW Fitment

As a part designed for BMW, the windshield has been engineered for precise fitting with the trunk lid and factory seals and mountings. Proper edge profiling and correct geometry:

• facilitate installation in a professional service center or specialized glass workshop,
• minimize the risk of leaks and stress on the glass,
• ensure proper adhesion to the body without the need for modifications.

The used nature of the part allows for economical repair while maintaining the original quality of workmanship typical for the BMW brand. This is a beneficial solution for accident repairs, replacement after mechanical damage, or bodywork restoration.

Selection by OEM Number and Purchase Support

When selecting a rear windshield for a specific BMW F13 model, it is crucial to compare the OEM number and interchangeable numbers with the vehicle's documentation or markings on the old windshield. If in doubt, it is worth consulting the guide on identifying parts by numbers, available in the article how to choose the right car part by VIN and OEM number. This helps reduce the risk of purchasing a part with incorrect parameters and speeds up the installation process.
