Hi folks,
Time to change my windscreen wipers. Thinking of Bosch aerotwin retrofit ones. Has anyone tried these on an e89? How does the passenger side wiper sit? I know they don't sit flat on the e85.

I've considered the Michelin stealth but the attachment point looks abit 'unfinished', as there's no cover to mask the unsightly clip.

Or do I go for OEM? Just wanted to see what people have opted for and your experiences.

Many thanks.
 
I went to the local autofactors, I looked at the aero type wipers but the clip looks very large and bulky compared to the standard OE fit cars have. I just didnt like the look of the aftermarket fit, went with Continental wipers. Look spot on.

Personal preference i guess ... :thumbsup:
 
Ive replaced mine with Bosch Aerotwin, personally I think they look clean/modern and fit in with the style of the car.... bit like the stubby aerial. On close inspection the passenger side sits slightly off the screen but Im pleased with the performance. Bought them online and I think they were £20 for the pair.

Thanks both!

Northothebkrder, would you mind taking a picture for me to see?
I've just taken a look at my OEM ones and the passenger side seems to sit off the screen by just under an inch. The rubber has shrunk though so my have been more pronounced when new.
 
These have been on the car now for 10 months

Big thanks for posting the pics. Looks like the passenger side sticks out more than OEM but I do like the overall look. Might just end up getting the aerotwins!

Thanks again. :thumbsup:
