Your windshield has cracked twice in 19 months from minor road debris (gravel and sand) that normally wouldn't cause damage. Both times, small impacts turned into major fractures within a day, which is unusual compared to your 40 years of driving experience on the same roads. You suspect the BMW windshield glass may be more fragile than it should be. A replacement or warranty claim through BMW may be needed to address the glass durability issue.

The gloss finish of wood and metal on dashboard and center console along with glass prism gear and infotainment controller of these vehicles present significant visibility issues. These visibility issues manifest in reflections on the driver and passenger window glass in a manner that obscures side mirror visibility. The high gloss finish of the dashboard wood cause blinding reflections from the sunlight depending on positioning of the vehicle relative to the sun. The jewel-like glass of the gear selector and infotainment controller cause additional sunlight reflections which can blind the driver depending on the position of the vehicle relative to the sun.
Visibility in outside mirrors is obstructed by reflections of dash materials
