E91 Wiper Blades

F31-340i · 10-05-2008, 09:18 AM

Quick question:

My wipers are really noisy sometimes, so suspect its time for some new ones.

How much are wipers from a dealer? Popped into Halfords and their own version was £28 a set of fronts for E91/91. I've found similar on the interweb for £21, and BOSCH versions from same retailer for £35.

Are the pukka BOSCH versions worth it, or are they all the same?

I can't find a rear wiper on the net - I guess I may need to goto a dealer in any case for one of these, but my local is out of my way during opening times so would appreciate the convenience of just buying them off the net - any recommendations?

I just get the Bosch ones for all the cars I have had and found them very good and last a couple of years if not more... I change mine when depsite scrubbing and polishing the screen, they still smear. I need a new set soon.

I use Bosch exclusively on my truck but have to change them about every nine or ten months. Seems when they get a nick in them the streak is right at eye level every time! I haven't had to change the BMW blades.
