Yes they are Bosch Aero blades - 24 and 23 inch.
Get the twin pack, (Bosch 955 S)
its cheaper and also for some reason the single blades bought singley do not fit correctly as the clip is slightly too far forward.
They are around £42 from BMW UK.

That twin-pack seems to be available only in Europe (is U.K. part of Europe?). My wipers do indeed measure 23" passenger/24" driver but 23" blades seem hard to come by. What do folks in the U.S. use? And what's best other than "OEM" for the 15" rear (530xiT)?

Thanks all to helped me with this. Upon closer examination of Amazon I found the Bosch 955S set which seems to be specially made for our cars (even the package says so). As another poster said, it is difficult if not impossible to find a 23 incher for the passenger side. Amazon's item number has the 955S at the end of a string, so searching 955S may not get what you want. Thanks again for your help.
