Big design flaw, I know, but when you lift the wiper arms on my F30 they hit the top of the bonnet. The blades need to be cleaned (or replaced) when they are vertical. Thing is car washers/washes don't know this! Was considering some rubber trim on the leading edge of bonnet? What do you guys think?

Morning Richard

The same issue exists with the E53 (passenger side worse) there was a post on XDrivers some years back where the poster used a rubberized tape but put it on the thick part of the wiper, it looked OK.

The tape he used was the stuff they sell for sealing radiator hose leaks, how long it lasts or how effective in the real world I don't know but it certainly looked neat and tidy.

      U06 Active Tourer Mud Flaps what are the part numbers

      Hi Richard Welcome to the Forum Sounds like BMW have decided you shouldn't go near any dirt or mud in your 220i Touring 🤣 That leaves little choice really. have you thought of checking Mud Flaps from either the 1 series or 3 series cars it may be they can be modified to fit ? If not it means the after market accessories have you Googled to see what if anything comes up Good Luck with the search Dave

      Discs and pads

      Hi Stuart Welcome to the Forum Mtec with Mintex Pads always good value as are Apec, then there is Brembo discs and pads It depends if your only doing the Front or the whole car there are often some good deals to be had. Don't ignore your Dealer they often can be competitive and don't think the Auction sights are always the cheapest check the Factors as well. Use www.realoem.com to get part numbers and then use Google to find the best deal Good Luck Dave
