Brick Resistant Windshield Film??

[nando]

my statistics were based off a quick google search of reputable government backed data. Super generic, because I didn't think I needed to spend enough time to actually validate that you are over reacting. I will let the thread's responses do that for you.

Older cars (e30's) do not have laminated glass. It makes a huge difference. Modern cars utilize better glass. Pretty cut dry reasoning.
Try a nice glass of warm milk before bed, I have heard it is calming.

Huh? Yes they do. That's been a required safety feature since.. forever.

Never had a brick fly at me but I know to avoid following cement trucks. I had to spend $130 for a new windshield because misguided neighborhood kids thought it would be funny to engrave profanities all over it.

[superj]

a brick. wow.

I have seen tires come off oncoming traffic a few times and get hit and thrown into the sky. that worries me more than a brick randomly flying from the sky and hitting me. I am pretty safe though since I live near a navy base and the pilots don't carry bricks in their planes.

and awakennomore, I think you had less glass trouble on the mazdas because they had more slope to the windshields. I never had issues in my 88 rx7 either but have chips in the e30s, also

Personally, I have lots of other stuff that I could chose to worry about that is way more important(or likely) than this if I so desired. You know....like losing my nutsack to a rabid dog or getting my wiener inadvertently chopped off in a carrot slicer. Lol.

flyboyx is very worried about his weiner IRL... then again I am too

OP: Helmet is your best, most cost effective option

Bricks are not the only object/hazard.

Your numbers are not only generic, but they are off by quite a bit. Yes it is an unlikely situation, but why would you dismiss it?

And again, why do you seem to keep bringing up a 25 year old car as if thats relevant???

you might also consider installing a cattle guard while your at it... in case you hit a stray shopping cart

Little known fact: the 1988 Mazda RX-7 has the thinnest windshield glass of any passenger car sold in the United States since the advent of tools accurate enough to measure such things.

Owned 2 '88 Rx7's (one GXL one TII) along the years of my former 5 RX-7 lineage.
I never experienced as more than one single bird strike. Yet my E30 seems to be a goddamn debris magnet. A piece of 2X4 took out my old windshield, a year later I already have 4 severe chips and a million micro chips.

There is a hurricane grade glass for windows. You can contact the manufacturer to see if they can mold it into E30 windshield shape. It would cost more than one 7 series for sure, but if you have the money then go for it.

[LowR3V'in]

haha what a joke

you got that right. ;)

nobody is going to make their e30 into a zombie hunter vehicle
because of almost 0 chance of high energy flying brick like objects on the road.


caging the windshield is all you can do for that.

[EfrenFlores]

haha what a joke why I am I not surprised by the responses here. This is just R3v after all.

[nando]

The bulletproof glass on the 7 series is like 1" thick. it also weighs a freaking ton.

Sorry no one is taking you very seriously op. It's just that, well......no one is taking you seriously.

Yup. This sort of thing falls under "freak accident". Unless you want to be a bubble boy, there isn't really much sense of trying to prevent it, or worrying about it. It's so unlikely to happen, to put so much focus on preventing such a thing is just silly. You're actually more likely to be killed in a regular car accident than you are a brick through the window. You could avoid that by staying in your house all day, but then you might be killed by a freak gas explosion. And so on and so forth.

Forget about it and move on.

Stay away from E30 M3 Sport Evolution cars, they have thinner glass. Super dangerous to drive on the street.

Interesting didnt know that

I just don't forsee any valid purpose for going apeshit over something as isoteric as this. Sorry man. I respect you for your opinion though. Does that help?

Appreciate the honesty
