Cracked front windshield but no damage.

Got into my car this afternoon and realized my front windshield was cracked right down the center from the top rear view mirror and front facing camera down to the dashboard. I checked in the sunlight and can't find any visible chips or blemishes on the crack and looks like it just cracked on its own.

Anyone ever have anything similar happen? I have an appointment at the dealer in the morning.

Happened to my Panamera. Noticed nothing in the evening but saw a big crack next day morning.

Quick update if anyone is interested or has this happen to them. After a dealership inspection on Tuesday and a BMW rep inspection on Friday BMW agreed to replace the window free of charge as there is no evidence of impact to the glass. Glad they stepped up and did the right thing. I've been very impressed with the service at BMW of Devon in SE PA suburbs.
