I argued that it was a stress crack not from a stone chip!

Yes that is the one!! But given that a HUGE stone chip didn't cause a crack, but a tiny one did, seems very odd to me!! I even tried to get the BMW regional assessor type person to come and check it but they were having none of it. In the end a £50 excess payment to Autoglass did the trick!
