You could go to an autoshop and they should take care of you. Don't go for the rain-x brand, those didnt even fit for my car and it said it would. 
I went with those because the bosch wipers weren't in stock. I'm gonna end up ordering the bosch icons.

Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
The ones at the dealer don't cost all that much. I'd stick with OEM.

I discussed about wipers from the dealership and they did provide information about which wipers to go for! I suggest you talk with the dealership!

Well i thought i might save a couple of bucks since the OEM are $88 versus $44 for the Bosch icon.
