Got a pair recently for 50% off at ECP and they are mint. No complaints what soever.

Cheers.

I did the same euro car parts bosch 50% off on black friday sale. Id try looking in the next few days as sales are coming up they work a charm cant complain. Ive purchased a different pair of bosch wiperblades from wiperblades.co.uk and they lasted say 5 months and worn out, but that could be because i clean my car weekly and at the time i used to wipe down the wiper blades with a microfiber cloth silly me.keep the silicon moist and let it do its job theres no need to wipe the blades down :D

I'd also recommend PIAA. I've just replaced the original set I fitted to my Z4M.... 9 years ago!

That’s more like it...a poster on here said they changed theirs every 5 months 😮 what on earth were they doing with them?

I thought the Aerotwin style wipers didn't fit the curvature of the E89 screen and sat proud of the windscreen at the sides?

Is this not the case?

I’ve gone through 4 sets to try and stop the squeak and juddering..... in the end I used alcohol wipes to clean the screen and used Halfords el cheapo wipers at £12 each, and its sorted!!!
