I think my wiper arms are actually messed up or something. It doesn't make sense bc no matter what i put on there they'll chatter. I'm probably getting rid of this car by july so I'll just deal with it

The best part is that the ICONs are cheaper in Canada than the Aerotwins and are half the price of the Genuine BMW wipers
I have been using the Bosch ICON. Unfortunately WalMart (which was cheapest and convenient) stop selling them. I was search for a set for Mom's MB and notice Bosch only offered Aerotwin and not CON for her car.

Thanks for the info, you saved me time researching this.

To answer your question. I like the ICON blades they seem to do well and last.

BTW, in the old days (E36) people recommended SWF. They were no better than most common brands.

I was looking from google and saw another one but its "19OE".
Does the letters after the numbers mean anything?
Sorry but im new in these
The OE uses a different arm connector. The M2 and previous X5 required OE.

Not sure about other brands anymore but the ICONs do not come w/multiple arm adapters. Guess they feel multiple SKUs is cheaper

My mom's X5 has the same and they seem to work fine.
