Window wipers

Post by SteveSmith » Fri Nov 18, 2016 8:25 am

Hi all,

I'm new so forgive me for the complete noob post but...

Why is a 2014 BMW Z4 fitted with the old style window wipers?

Do all Z4's have the old hook style arms with the old wipers?

Anyone upgraded to the aero ones and noticed any improvement?

Hi, in my experience any improvement in wiper action is due to the quality of blades purchased & nothing to do with the style of them.
Just my findings :thumbsup:

I just got the Bosch SP21 for the driver side but it does not come with the 'spoiler' - and I couldn't work out how to transfer it across from the OEM one. Does every just do without? Thanks.
