The wiper blades for BMW E60 should be pinch tab type, and easy to install.
I got one set on a store on Aliexpress last year
they still work well till now
I would like to share it with you :

you must select " 2004 - 2010 " in the offer for E60

The best blades I used were the original ones that came with my car. Since then, I've used Bosch, and Valeo blades. Even replacement blades from BMW seemed noisier than that first set. I now am using PIAA blades and they are very good. I would say almost as good as that original factory set.

First off, let me say I'm embarrassed to be posting this. While I'm no Steve Matchett, I do consider myself to be pretty mechanically inclined. I do all of my own work on my E60, I help my friends with their cars, hell I built my E30 motor from the ground up. I like to think I know what I'm doing. Apparently, I'm an idiot...
I am trying to replace the wiper blades on my E60. Last weekend I bought a set of RainX blades that were listed as fitting the car. I opened the package and out popped four or five different 'clips' that attach the blade to whatever car it needs to go on. The closest one I could find that looked like it would fit the E60 arm didn't have enough distance between the 'pin' on the end of the arm and the button that locks it into place. It wasn't even close to fitting.
So off I went today back to the store. I returned the RainX blade and thought I'd just go with the sure bet and get a Bosch set. I bought the set that was listed for the car, got home, and went to go pop it on. Once again, the clip isn't the right size. Like, it isn't even close.
WTF am I missing here? I really don't want to go to the dealer and drop $60 on a set of friggin' wiper blades, but I feel like it's coming to that.
