They have them installed on a model on the showfloor.  It does not look too bad in person.  A little better than the pics which make it look almost silly high.

That's what I have.
Very recommended, no air buffeting for my 5'11" height, and NO wind on hands.

I can talk with the passenger up to 70mph, ride everywhere with a half helmet
and never have the visor down.

It's a great product.

Hi.   2012  dt 300i.  I,m 5'8" 230 lbs.  Just installed Givi D 294 ST windshield.  Love it. I ride rather upright and at 55/60 mph the stock windshield pulled at my helmet. With new windshield, no more wind on head or face, protects hands somewhat as well.  A good investment in comfort.

Same here, I have had one on my 2011 almost from day one. It has been great. Did a 7000KM trip last month with it with no problems.

Got Biondi, no issues, no vibes, great wind protection.
It's a piece of plastic, damnit.

I can see about 100 feet in front of me over the givi windsheild,  with a air hawk R seat cushion, it is adjustable, a little harder with more air in it , I have being airing it down a little at a time , for more comfort,  I am good for 200 km. for now, a little less air I may get to 300 KM> I hope!

Hi,

I was thinking about to change my stock windshield on my downtown 300i. The stock is more than enough in London but on motorways your head is not protected from the wind at all. I have tried to find this biondi windshield but I couldn't. Has enyone any idea where could I order it from (to the UK)? I even wouldn't mind to pay for shipping from USA. (I have seen the Givi windshield before but I don't like the look of it and as I read here the Biondi is better/taller)
