D2 is glued in by electrical heat bonding normally so certainly not a DIY job and the kosher tinted Pilkington Opticool screen with electrical heating elements is pricey.

Still, the windshield is probably not any more expensive than my BMW's. I couldn't even get glass for my old Ford Ranger for less than $250.

You might be surprised actually; I certainly was; and I have two BMWs.

If you're set on that one then figure in the cost of the windshield replacement in your offer.

Yeah, I'm glad I don't have the heated windshield.
