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

I'm not sure what you mean about having Bosch wipers...You mean you previously had Bosch wipers on your car? The thing is, once you remove the blades that are on the car, the wiper arm itself should be the same for every 5 series, just stock BMW. I never heard of replacing the whole wiper assembly, with arm like that before for an aftermarket.

OMG! serious?

Yeh! I find it bs! And today, I had a service done - all minor stuff - and cost me AUD$1,224! They were just engine oil service, safety check, brake fluid, intake silencer service (air filter) and replacing rear diff pinion seal and topping up diff oil!
RIDICULOUS!
