Would hazard a guess the BMW blades are Bosch, made by Bosch.

Been a long time since I have bought wiper blades for any car. Have not needed any at all for my BMWs.

If I needed wiper blades and didn't want to get them from the dealer parts department guess I'd visit a good auto parts store and see what after market blades are available.

Used to be the wiper blade section had a multi-page catalog that listed vehicles and what blade part number/model number would fit the vehicle.

Of course, that catalog might all be online now.

I believe Valeo is the OEM manufacturer for the G series chassis. If you want half price, you can buy these from FCP Euro and return them for $30 credit.

I tried shopping for compatible Bosch ones when my G42 needed them and couldn't find any. That may have changed since then.

The answer to your question is yes. Search your favorite brand on their web based blade finder and tada you shall have part numbers. Bosch definitely has blades that fit.

Here's a thread from the G42 section from last spring.

The oem blades on the G87 and G42 M240 suck (I own MY23 of both cars). Blades are needed to be replaced in less than a year.

What alternatives do you recommend?
