Evening all.
I was wondering if someone could lead me in the right direction as to which are the best windscreen wipers for my E85. The ones which are on at the moment are not very efficient. Where to get them would be useful info as well.
Thanks a bunch.

Just fitted some of the above last week. They seem to be pretty good one week in. I got both for under £18 including delivery from Euro Car Parts. :thumbsup:

As you say you have an E85 & you're asking in the E89 forum, I'd double check the above replays are relevant to you car. Might want to repost in the E85 forum? Just trying to be helpful, not clever!

Just like Greg, I fitted Bosch Areos to my E89 and can definitely recommend. I also use RainX

Wrong forum, but I've just fitted Bosch Aerotwins to all the cars in the "refresh". The best blades.

Another :thumbsup: for Bosch Aeros, I've just fitted some to my Cooper S Countryman, half the OEM price and don't squeak, win-win

Another vote for Bosch from me. Very pleased

This year I opted for the slightly smaller in dimensions Bosch Super Plus SP 20/18 and they seem to fit the windscreen better than the 21/20s.
I did this after reading other comments on the Forum on the subject and bought a set from Halfords despite the store computer warning me of dire consequences if I did not purchse the correct item. No regrets so far though. :thumbsup:

I just fitted some Bosch Aero's (i think, box missing), only problem the mountings are a bit chunky and ugly.
Not sure why they need be so tall.

New Bosch - the driver's with a spoiler - skip at modrate/high speed, even on a freshly & thoroughly cleaned windscreen,

Am going to pay £53 today for OE pair from Sytner's.

Correction: £53.94p

They're substantially better made than the Bosch they're replacing. And so they should be.

p.s. They're 61 61 2 151 749. 22" & 20".

The Bosch ok at speed but slow they make a noise like the blades loose when they change direction.
Is it not possible to design a silent blade.
