Okay, let me understand this, the ole Bimmer is nigh 8 years old and there are NO aftermarket wiper blade replacements available still?

From what I'm reading on this forum, the only sure and viable option is to go to the dealer and pay $90+!!

Any aftermarket replacements require buying two pairs of different sizes (24 & 22), and even then there are problems.

Do I have this correct, or am I missing something?

Thx.

 

Do I have this correct: NO

... am I missing something?: YES

Check out the Bosch Icons at numerous places http://shop.advancea...rm=wiper+blades ... Amazon for "exact fits" or a BMW dealer parts department that offers discounts to BMWCCA or Forum members.

 

Do I have to buy two sizes: 24" & 22"?

 

YES ... this is fairly common on many many cars sold during the past 10 years. So, it's becoming more common for wiper refills to be sold as singles.

I know you're new to this forum but would I be presumptuous to ask if you're fairly new to considering DIY for your BMW or cars in general? ... If so, one of my recommendation is that you set aside some time to peruse the DIY section for basic information can be obtained by searching that sub-group.

Owning an aging BMW can be fun and frustrating at the same time ... and OH - did I mention EXPENSIVE! So taking on some of these basic service items is a great way to save a few $$'s. Good luck
