Found this one when I put my 4 series reg. In this website.

That was a quick search. Don't know if any others or discount codes.

Get Valeo but not from that website! It's the same company as Autodoc, see the recent thread about them having massive delays shipping to the UK at the min, also the orange banner on your screenshot.

Just to clarify those wanting Valeo Silencio wipers;
3 series - 24" and 19" wiper code VM371, also uses code VF371 - good prices available £16 delivered.

4 series - 24" and 18" - not sure of the code and these are not as readily available and more expensive. Can be bought as a pair if you can find them but also can be bought individually, but then cost more.

Ordered some Valeos for £15.75. I'm sure an extra inch won't hurt....."she said"

I have only bought Valeo's for the 3 series I used to have and not needed to change the wipers on my current 4 series GC. Let us all know if they fit okay with the 19" blade. I shouldn't think half an inch each end would make much difference.

As I've already said, the 19" passenger side (for a 3 series) fits the passenger side of a 4 series (18" OEM SIZE) absolutely fine.
I have the VM371 set on my 4 series.

As previously mentioned. The longer passenger wiper is fine on the 4 series.

They work great, but they do seem a fair bit louder than oem.

Strange if yours are louder, mine are no different to the stock ones I replaced... They're just about silent actually...

Just for the records.

Tried Bosch's, Valeo and replacement Valeo's. All noisy, clunky, poor. My fix was OEM from Stealers unfortunately.

You can remove the 'Valeo' white writing with a bit of acetone

I’m suffering from exactly the same problem with noisy Bosch Aeros..... thanks to this thread I’m going to get some Valeo Silencios instead. Currently only £15.65 for the VM371 set from carparts4less. Bargain!
