BMW i3 rear window price, by year
Price variation is minimal across i3 variants because the model has consistent rear-window specification throughout its production run. The heated element and light-green tint are fitted across all active variants in our catalogue, so differences reflect mainly fitment complexity and the specialist's local labour rates rather than glass specification variation.

What to expect during your BMW i3 rear window replacement
Booking your i3 rear-window replacement through UK Car Glass is straightforward — from quote to fitting in just a few steps.
- 1
Use our online widget to get an instant quote — answer three quick questions about your i3's year and features, and you'll see pricing in under 60 seconds.
- 2
Complete your booking online in under two minutes — choose your fitting date and whether you'd prefer mobile at your address or a workshop visit.
- 3
We'll match you with an approved fitter in your area who specialises in BMW glass replacement.
- 4
On fitting day, the fitter will remove the shattered rear glass, clean accessible shards from the interior, and install your replacement with the heating elements and connectors reconnected.
- 5
A shattered rear window creates many small glass shards — your fitter will remove what they can reach during the fit, but we recommend a professional interior valet afterwards for thorough detailing, as fragments can lodge in hard-to-access places.
- 6
Your replacement carries a two-year warranty on workmanship and glass quality.
The whole job typically takes 30–60 minutes of your fitter's time, and you can drive away once the adhesive has cured — your fitter will confirm the exact timing before they leave.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your i3?
Most i3 rear-window replacements are carried out mobile at your address, as the rear window does not require ADAS camera calibration. However, if you prefer a workshop environment — for instance, to use the opportunity for an interior valet or other bodywork — your fitter can arrange that instead.
Mobile fitting is typically faster and more convenient, but the choice is yours at booking.

Green1
2013–2022Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
What it means
Green tint is a light-filtering coating applied to the glass during manufacture. It absorbs and reduces transmission of certain wavelengths of light, primarily to cut glare from sunlight and reflections. The tint is subtle — often barely visible to the naked eye — but measurably improves visual comfort during prolonged driving, particularly in bright conditions. It's a factory specification chosen by the vehicle manufacturer to balance daylight comfort with interior visibility and aesthetic consistency across all glass in the vehicle.
How to tell
The easiest way to check is to roll your side window halfway down and hold a piece of white paper behind it. Look carefully for a tint cast — green tint will appear as a subtle green hue compared to clear glass. Your windscreen will have the same tint as your side windows. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre — they'll have the original specification on file.
Replacement impact
Green-tinted replacement glass must match the original tint specification to maintain visual consistency across all windows and preserve the vehicle's interior aesthetics. Aftermarket OE-equivalent (OEE) green-tinted glass is widely available, though some vehicles may require original equipment (OEM) dealership glass if the tint specification is proprietary. Tint does not affect calibration, cure time, or installation procedure — it's a cosmetic and functional specification only.
Heated Rear Windscreen1
2013–2022Heated rear windscreen with integrated wires clears mist and ice when you switch on the demister.
What it means
A heated rear windscreen contains fine heating wires embedded within the glass. When you activate the rear demister, an electrical current passes through these wires, warming the glass and melting ice or condensation. This feature is particularly useful in cold or damp weather, improving rear visibility quickly. The heating grid is integral to the glass and connected to your vehicle's electrical circuit via connectors at the base of the windscreen.
How to tell
Look at the rear windscreen from inside the vehicle — you will see a fine grid of horizontal lines across the glass, typically bronze or copper in colour. On the dashboard or steering wheel stalk, there will be a dedicated rear-demist button, usually marked with a windscreen symbol and heating lines. If in doubt, ask your vehicle's service centre or consult your handbook.
Replacement impact
Replacement rear windscreens with heated grids are widely available as original-equipment aftermarket or dealership parts. The new glass must include the factory heating grid and electrical connectors intact. The technician will reconnect the heating circuit to your vehicle's rear-demist switch. Heated rear windscreens are bonded glass, so adhesive cure time applies; drive-away time will be confirmed by the fitter on the day.
Light Green1
2013–2022A factory light-green tint found on some Japanese vehicles, distinct from standard European green and stocked separately.
What it means
Light green is a tint applied to the windscreen during manufacturing on certain Japanese-market vehicles. It differs subtly in colour and hue from the standard green tint used on European vehicles. This tint serves the same purpose as any factory tint — reducing glare, heat ingress, and UV exposure — but represents a distinct regional specification. Because the colour match must be precise, UKCG stocks and supplies light-green windscreens as a separate variant. Using a standard green tint on a vehicle that left the factory with light green will result in a visible colour mismatch.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's original windscreen or consult your handbook or dealership service records. If your car is a Japanese make and the windscreen has a noticeably light greenish tint (rather than the standard neutral or slightly amber European green), you have a light-green windscreen. The tint is visible when you look through the glass at an angle or compare it side-by-side with a standard-green vehicle.
Replacement impact
Light-green windscreen replacement requires an exact colour match to maintain consistency with the rest of the vehicle's glazing and exterior appearance. Standard green tints are not interchangeable. UKCG sources the correct light-green variant to your specific vehicle, ensuring seamless integration. No calibration is required — tint is a cosmetic and thermal property of the glass itself and does not affect safety systems or sensors.
About the BMW i3
The BMW i3 has been in continuous production since 2013, evolving through two main generations with consistent rear-window engineering across the range. The i3's rear liftgate glass is a fixed panel — not operable — and on all variants in our catalogue features integrated heating elements for rear demist functionality.
All i3 models carry a distinctive light-green factory tint on the rear window, which is specific to this vehicle and must be precisely matched at replacement to maintain factory appearance and light transmission. The heating grid and electrical connectors are integral to the glass unit and must be preserved during fitment to keep the rear-demist circuit functional.
