Why doesn't it work? Did you try them? They state they would fit the e60.

The picture I used is a random beam wiper blade. The beam blades I ordered for my E60 and E90 from Rockauto should be here this afternoon. I will check fitment.

I ordered 2 sets (TRICO clearance ones) and I just received them. I wanted to see if they fit properly. I installed and seems to fit ok. The clip design looks slightly different than OEM ones that I currently have on the car; nonetheless, they fit ok. As for the quality/how well they perform, we'll have to wait and see. Top one is the TRICO one.

On the package, it says NAPA. So, these must've been manufactured for NAPA.

Notice how the clip on the OEM (Bosch??) wiper has a pivot and the clip can move freely. I think that's a better design. Unfortunately, the TRICO ones don't have that pivot on the clip. Oh well... let's see how they perform.

I ordered and installed the following blades:
  • E60 Left: TRICO Part # 2414B {60024PTB} Exact Fit - Factory Replacement; O. E. Beam [Wholesaler Closeout - Private Label Pkg. - 30 Day Warranty]
  • E60 Right: TRICO Part # 2314B {60023PTB} Exact Fit - Factory Replacement; O. E. Beam [Wholesaler Closeout - Private Label Pkg. - 30 Day Warranty]
  • E90 Left: TRICO Part # 2412B {60024SP} Exact Fit - Factory Replacement; O. E. Beam [Wholesaler Closeout - Private Label Pkg. - 30 Day Warranty]
  • E90 Right: TRICO Part # 1912B {60019SP} Exact Fit - Factory Replacement; O. E. Beam [Wholesaler Closeout - Private Label Pkg. - 30 Day Warranty]
The fitment is exact and they seem to work fine. Have not tested the aerodynamic properties at highway speed in the rain.

I ordered the following two sets as well:
Trico 60024PTB
Trico 60023PTB
The packaging had NAPA and I just compare to my OEM that I actually purchased from the dealer and I have to say there is NO difference and look to be exactly what I paid $22.00 for last year. I installed just one blade and all seems to be perfect. I did remove it because my current blades are just fine for the moment. But I now have a nice set of backups! Thanks for the information lead that you provided.
