Hi,
Can anyone tell me the correct wiper blades for a 2016 BMW Z4 Sdrive 1.8i Convertible.
and the best place to buy them other than the main BMW dealers.
Thank you.

21" both sides, and I got the Bosch Aeroblades that I picked up from my local Halfrauds. Been on a couple of years with no issues so far

Hiya
Just replaced mine and found that a 21" on drivers side with a 20" on passengers worked better than both being 21"

Is the OE part number..in terms of quality and performance arguably the best..
But at least £51 from non dealer sources..
I’ve tried Bosch and 2 other brands but came back to OE version twice now…FWIW

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

As B21 says and as posted elsewhere, OE.
BMW put crap tyres on the Z4, but they got the wipers right.

The genuine OEM ones are unique. If you're a perfectionist, and don't want the last inch on the passenger side sitting proud of the windscreen then genuine is the only way to go. They've got much more of a curve and sit on the windscreen much better.
There is one other option that I've not seen mentioned here.. purchase longer Bosch ones for about £7 each (https://amzn.eu/d/bFBMnJP) take the rubber from these and replace with your old ones and just trim the excess (keeping the original metal wiper body).

Brilliant. That’s a great endorsement. My next ones will likely come from BMW - as I bought OE for my Mercedes recently - despite the Valeo being good quality.
