Valeo is what you need to go with. Icons do not fit - at least not the ones I bought from Autozone.

I just bought wiper blades for my 2005 545i from pelicanparts two days ago. $23 each side. The description says SWF is the brand and that they are an OEM supplier.

The Rain-x Lattitude blades do connect just fine onto the wiper arms. See my post in this thread ( https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=90001 ) about switching out the bracket though. The ones they offer for the passenger is short by 1in (22" vs 23") but wasn't noticeable when I actually used them...

See I tried this assuming I had OEM wipers. Well it turned out they were Bosch wipers, and I could not make them fit at all. It was a big mess and ended up being out $130 for stupid wipers
