I need to change the wiper blades on my 530xi. What brands do you guys use? Are the RainX or Michelin any good, or do you use something else? I remember when I had my E39, I just had my BMW mechanic do them. I think he used to just replace the rubber, cutting to size from a large roll he had. Any advantage to the "Triple X" 3 squeegee setup?

If you're out of warranty, then take a look here:

Thanks, Rudy.

Phew! As with everything else around here, nothing is straightforward, is it?

I just go to the dealer they are not expensive. You can use your bmwcc dist and knock off a couple of bucks.

I ordered them from Amazon also, they fit perfect (2006 550i)and are 2 different sizes, although the amazon site says only 24 inches.
