Bosch Wiper Blade (Aerotwin) A980S vs A073S, whats the difference?

I'm looking to replace my widescreen wipers, autoglass replaced them in March and now they snatch on the widescreen as if being punched in the face.

Looking at the EuroCarParts website they have two Bosch blades listed A980S and A073S at different prices. Which one is correct for an 06 E90?

Is a case of taking your set in and seeing which ones work I imagine. Mine were the more expensive ones, but I went for the Valeo in the end which are the same fitment as the more expensive Bosch ones.

If you look carefully at the ECP illustrations you'll see the fitment is different. My guess is your fitment will be the single pin type (the £37.49 pair).
