just got my car back from the 15,000 mile service (oil change ) and figured i ask the sales man about having them change my wiper blades. He said if they streak he will replace them for free and i told them that it doesn't wipe as good as when i got the car (i'm nice about it) so he changed them under warranty.

For all those people who will be getting their first oil change service...get those wiper blades changed too for FREE!!

yah... in US...

Here in Romania.. they will change the wiper blades...the wheels.. engine too.... or they'll give me the M5 for free. It's Wonderland here.
As I know my people.. probably I'll be glad not to get my a$$ kicked just for asking that.

While we are at it...
Have you ever thought about why they don't sell the rubber piece only ? Instead of selling the whole wiper blade ???

I also got my wiper blades replaced for free with my fuel retention clip recall visit. I guess, you can request your wipers to be changed before your 15000 mile service. BMW did not give a problem with replacing them.

In the UK its included in the 5 year Service Inclusive Package (extra cost) but you're limited only to 4 sets of wipers in that period.

I don't know how much you pay for a new set of blades but here in Portugal it's around 90 EUR. Hoouucchhh. ..............
