Just an FIY:

Just recently purchased a set of PIAA Super Silicone Wipers, and came to find out that none of the adapters work for the E60.

You can however; purchase a set of the blade inserts and place them in the current wiper blades on the E60. I purchased the 28" for both sides and cut the insert to the same lenght as the old ones.

They work flawlessly.

dannyzbmw, just wondering why would you pay extra on the blades while your dealers can change them for free ?

Is it easy to fix DIY? Do they ship it to Singapore?
