Hi

Which wiper blades do ppl recommend? Dealership vs bog standard vs specialised ones?

I looked at the silicone ones from http://www.piaa.co.uk (which seem to be recommended for E46s) but they only seem to fit 92-95 and 03-on 5 series models. :-(

Cheap ones :)

Go to a good motor factors,one that supplies most of the garages in your area and ask for two 24 inch wiper refills and take them home and fit them and trim to length required.

Total cost under ÂŁ3.


Those piaa blades look trick but using 'rain x' will give the same results,better actually.

My old wipers had had it, smearing the rain which was dangerous when driving at night as the glare was awful, so I picked up a pair of Bosch ones from Halfords yesterday. Would have got them off the bay, but I'm far too lazy and needed them straight away as the weather is now getting pretty bad.

They are spot on. Crystal clear, no squeaks etc. ÂŁ23 though, so if you can afford to wait a week for delivery or whatever, get them somewhere else cheaper.
