Wiper Blades

[Kulrom]

Funny thing is that today i was able to drive my new BMW ... finally. It was snowing for 10 days starting the day i bought it.

However i brought the kids in a shopping center and parked in the underground garage. When we back to the car i saw that my wiper blades are stolen.

So my question is, what wiper blades i should use as replacement? Is there a genuine BMW wiper blades or i can buy something like Bosch?

I bought some cheap crap that "fits to all bmw series 3" but they couldn't fit actually. The driver side blade is good but the other one is odd. Please give your opinions.

Thank you so much

Go onto ebay and get yaself some 'Euro Flat' wipers,they work great and look good too,its what I use :)

Bosch on my bmw are fine and last about six months and are good value considering the c...p weather in this country

So there is nothing like genuine BMW wiper blades? I even do not know what blades were the stolen ones.

Do you know what brand of blades come with a new BMW (i've bought it only a week ago)?

Thank you for the suggestions. It is much appreciated

Bosch. The drivers' side blade should have a "guide" that prevents sweep-shudder !

I have had bad experiences with the Aero-Flat crap, like the ends flying off !!

Thanks for the advice Dabsy. It is much appreciated. Btw, i bought a genuine windshield wipers manufactured by BMW (at least it's stated on the package). I paid them 50EUR and they look identical to the stolen ones :) But my problem is not solved with that. Actually they have stolen the little holders so i cannot just hook them now. I will also have to buy those stickers (or whatever the name is) in Monday. They ruined my mood :(

Actually the green row points to the part that i am missing. I also hoped that those stuff come along the blades but i was wrong.

I am afraid i will have to buy the complete wipers which will certainly costs a lot. Damn thieves !!!

Thank you guys for replying :) Will keep you updated (if i can buy only the missing part or i have to but the complete wipers)

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Take them back and explain, because they should fit !!

[Snypa-D]

ALL wipers should come with the adaptors !! Take em back and complain !!

I have to wait for the snow to melt down before go there with the car and make them mount without the adapters. lol

Check this out; The wipers i bought are not for the model i have. it is E90 indeed but the latest facelift model and the wipers differ a lot.

However they told me to wait for one week and they will give me the adequate wipers for my car. Thank you for the inputs guys. It is much appreciated. Btw, i was driving the car with the cheapest model i found which is like 2 EUR unlike the original blades that cost 60EUR (facelift price). The previous model was 50EUR :(
