Windshield wipers
Does anyone have experience with aftermarket wipers on their 6 series? My current factory set is terrible and I'm looking to replace - not sure if I should go with any of the wiper companies (am looking at Bosch icon) or just replace with OEM wipers.
Thanks |

I used Bosch and they don't last long...
OK in use though..... Recently bought a device which cuts the blade rubber twice.... It's brill ... Although not used it on our 640d yet.... Used it on my van... Can't find a link to the bloody thing now.... It's green and come from Germany...! |

The OEM ones are from Bosch.
However it does not mean that the actual end product is exactly the same (although many items can be just without any branding). If you look very closely at your (I presume OEM ones) you will see a very very small Bosch logo on them (I cannot remember exactly where though!) |

The replacement ones though have a slightly bulkier/uglier connection point because they are generalised to accept a variety of connection adaptors. |
