So, Are there any other/better wiper blades that would fit an E60 ?

Thanx!

I bought my car second hand and the wipers were very noisy - replaced with OEM wiper blades and the view was better as well as stopping the noise.

Why do you want to move away from BMW wipers?

Are these direct replacements or do you need to use adapters to make them fit?

I didn't need any adapters. I pulled the old blades off and inserted the new blades. The Bosch part number is 3 397 118 955, and the set is listed on boschautoparts.com as the OEM replacement set.

Never liked Rain-X products but are they a 100% replacement or do you need to use adapters?
