2 Qs on OEM part alternatives (wipers and xenon bulbs)

[kartman]

Two questions for OEM quality parts that no point to buy at the dealer.

1) Windshield wipers for Z4 Coupe. Any advice? Online in Europe? Good price?
2) Xenon D1 lightbulbs. Any tips again?

OEM prices for 1) is 60EUR and for 2) 50 EUR / one

Would like to see if I can get those at 30%+ discount minimum.

All suggestions welcome especially if you have personal experience with parts. What to avoid: Cheap China made knockoffs that are “too hard” or “burn out fast” respectively.

I have bosch flatblade wipers. Cost about £20 and are great.

Wipers I get off eBay for under £6. Always top quality, search for aero wipers.

Alternatively you can buy replacement rubbers and keep the wipers in place.

a bit confused for the coupe. 22 and 20, 21 and 20, 21 and 19... all offered for Z4C?

I just got 21" and 20", that seemed to be the combination for my car (I measured the old ones first)

I got 20 and 19 to stop the passenger side wiper hanging off the windscreen.

 

[kartman]

so oem is 21 and 20...

The coupe windscreen is different so i'm not sure whether it takes the same wiper sizes as the roadster. Easy enough to measure your current ones.
