Does anybody have any pictures of the OEM Windscreen with the green tint, the bronze tint, and the green band at the top?

It's time to replace my windscreen (still have the original!) and I'm thinking about getting a factory tinted one. Leaning towards one of the green tints.

If you get a PPG windshield, it has the green at the top and is great quality. I have one upstairs out of my old e30 that was in it for a month or so, but never got around to putting it into this one.

Any pics? What's the downside of having an aftermarket screen? I try to have everything on my car OEM...

No pics. Only downside to a aftermarket windshield would be it's quality. But PPG is a well known company that has quality products.

Really don't think there's a difference between aftermarket and OEM screens, it's not like BMW make them themselves and all screens have to meet a certain standard and like a lot of the body panels you buy from BMW nowadays, they aren't original BMW parts just BMW approved parts.
