Thanks everyone for your help!

Well, according to realoem, there are different windshields, and they all have different part numbers.

For example, there is a "rain" sensor, and a "condensation" sensor - they are both different parts. Also, you can have green tint, or grey tint, or no tint.

The first windshield was OEM, had rain sensor, but no condensation sensor or tint.
Second windshield was aftermarket (no bmw logo, but probably made by Pilkington), and had rain sensor and condensation sensor, but was green.

Hopefully they got it right this time
