Wiper blades...

Genuine BMW replacement or an alternative front set you've been happy with?

BMW don't make wiper blades, they'll be rebranded Bosch - go with them....

And that would be the Bosch AM24U and AM19U?

I have just ordered a set of Bosch A980S Aerotwin Flat Windscreen blades which was the model/size that halfords.co.uk said fit my F31, but bought them from www.wiperblades.co.uk. Have used them numerous times before and they always provide excellent service and seem reasonably priced.

Does anyone know which Bosch wiper blades fit the rear of an F31??

Will second that, always used them on all my cars and same supplier too.

I fitted the A980S set on my E90 but you have to remove the original BMW covers - you can't fit them on top. Is this correct? Thus you can read "Bosch" on the wiper!

I bought Bosch wiper blades from ebay. Perfect fit and work brilliantly.

Do you have a link?

Well, my new wiper blades arrived from www.wiperblades.co.uk (excellent service and delivery as usual) the Bosch A980S as recommended by Halfrauds.co.uk website... they don't fit! I am not impressed with Halfrauds.

Can anyone tell me which wiper blades are the correct fit? Is it the Bosch AM24U and AM19U that Doc943 mentioned? Also which rear wiper blade fits the F31??

Thanks for the help

Don't know about the rear wiper but I bought and fitted Bosch aerotwin ones I identified the same time I replaced the two front tyres yesterday. A big difference and very pleased.
