Windshield Replacement & European Delivery / Autobahn Sticker

For those who’ve done European Delivery and love the green Autobahn Sticker that sets our cars apart stateside, do we have any options to obtain a duplicate or similar sticker upon windshield replacement?

Thanks!

Hey man,

So when we did European Delivery on the M5, our windshield was hit by a needle like rock in Italy. In about 10 minutes, there was a crack in the windshield, and we were all pretty upset. That being said, the windshield was replaced, and they even managed to re-glue our green circle sticker. Yeah it was not the best re-glue job ever, but at least it was still present on the car.

Best of luck.

For what it's worth, those are essentially inspection stickers here in Germany. Something to do with emissions if I remember right. You have to have green to drive in most areas. But it has nothing to do with autobahn.

Yes, you're right; I was wrong.

Thank you!

I apologize if it came across like I was trying to prove you wrong. That wasn't my intention. I was only trying to explain what the sticker was for.

No, not at all, not taken that way; thank you for your insight!

And happy motoring!
