BMW i8 owners were recently quoted $384 to $655 for windshield replacement on Auto Glass Estimator (10 windshield quotes, September 2026). A 2014 BMW i8 2 Door Coupe drew the top quote ($655) and a 2015 BMW i8 2 Door Coupe the lowest ($384). BMW Driving Assistant (KAFAS camera)-equipped BMWs need the windshield camera recalibrated after replacement, and that calibration is part of the cost. Updated September 2026.

What changes the price for a BMW i8

• BMW Driving Assistant (KAFAS camera) on the i8. The KAFAS camera mounted behind the windshield is part of the system, and BMW’s repair information requires a new camera calibration after the windshield is replaced; it completes during a road drive.
• Body style. Different body styles use different glass: in the recent quotes, 2 Door Coupe versions were quoted $384–$655 and 2 Door Convertible versions $525–$593.
• Calibration is its own charge. Where a i8 has a windshield camera it is calibrated after the glass is set; what ADAS recalibration costs explains the range.

BMW i8: repair or replace?

A chip smaller than a quarter or a crack shorter than about three inches can usually be repaired — faster and far cheaper than a full replacement. Replacement is the safer choice when the damage is longer than a dollar bill, sits in the driver’s line of sight, reaches the edge of the glass (which weakens the whole windshield), or goes through both layers. A qualified shop can confirm which option your BMW i8 qualifies for.

Does insurance cover a BMW i8 windshield?

Whether insurance covers your BMW i8 windshield depends on your comprehensive coverage and deductible. A few states require insurers to waive the glass deductible entirely, and some insurers waive it for small chip repairs. See our guides to states with zero deductible for comprehensive glass claims and states with glass endorsement coverage to check the rules in your state.
