Ori German pricier than local version, of course, but not dramatically so2. No tint at the top for ori German vs. tinted blue at the top for local version3. QUIETER for ori German vs. NOISIER for local version, where wind noise is concernedI was impressed by the noticeably reduced windnoise.  Where previously the wind was noticeable, it is now a whisper.  Where previously it was positively howling and whistling, it is now a gentle murmur. Caveat, I am not sure whether the wind noise reduction was entirely due to a better quality windscreen, or whether the windscreen glue joint/lining was better done this time round.  I remember my wind noise level has always been high previously (thinking all e36 was like that), and it is now noticable lower.If anyone is considering changing windscreens, I recommend giving the original version a try, esp if covered under insurance.  Oh, and look for good windscreen installing workmanship.  Took mine 2 hours, not 2 days as I read in another thread if done elsewhere at the official workshops (I suppose 2 days is to allow the glue to fully cure...)  However, am taking the precaution of driving around like a retiree for the next few days just in case... no chassis-bending corners for now...</p></blockquote><p></p>
