I generally agree with the OEM sentiment but in this case I wish there was a better aftermarket alternative.

Technically they are not OEM. The Pilkington glass doesn't have a BMW emblem and is made in a different factory, and it has a tint strip (the final years of the E90/E92 didn't have it at all). Quality is still excellent, but it is definitely not an OEM windshield.
I have no optical distortions in my "aftermarket" Pilkington that was just installed, FWIW. |
Incorrect. Pilkington is OEM glass, both installed at the factory and as an OEM replacement part. See below (just took this, same as the one I got when I bought the car):
For reference here is the prior windshield (my 2nd):
