the one on at the moment doesn't look like a BMW one. You need to replace with the BMW adapter.

Make sure you put the wipers into service mode first so you can lift the wipers, otherwise you can scratch the top edge of your bonnet.

No, i dindt have any set of adapters, just the wiper

You need to exchange them for ones that fit or come with the adapters for BMW cars.

As per the first post. You need to get the Bosch Icon 24OE & 19OE
the 24 and 19 is the size and the OE is the fitment.

Thank you bro, now i understand.
I just ordered a new pair of windshield wipers, now i dont know what to do with the other ones 😪

If you bought from Amazon, you should be able to return.

Wow That set is cheaper than one Bosch wiper lol

[Billfitz]

Yep, so even if you change them twice as often they still come out less expensive. Best of all: they fit, perfectly, without adapters.

I've only had oem which I believe Bosch makes. I get new ones for free every year with the original free maintenance included with new purchase or lease. I find the old ones are still good when they replace them and haven't had any issues.

Wow that set is cheaper than the AeroTwin. I just installed the Bosche ones last week too. Oh well. I like how they perform and will see how they do for the upcoming winter season

I had Icons on my E60 and I thought they fit very well. They performed better than OEM, in my opinion.

Mine always make noise no matter what is installed on there it's so irritating

[Billfitz]

Wind noise? Or squeaking?

I paid 17€ for a set of aerotwins just last week... pretty happy with the product

0 noise

Try treating your windshield with Aquapel. Mine never squeak or drag, probably because the Aquapel reduces friction between the wiper and the glass.

I'll give it a go how often do you apply it? And did you just get it from amazon? Seeing a bunch of comments on different ones for sale saying they're counterfeit

[Billfitz]

I apply twice a year, in spring and fall, on all the windows. It's especially nice on the rear window, since there's no wiper there. I get mine on Amazon. It takes a lot of rubbing with a microfiber cloth to get it haze free. I've used Rain-X with previous cars, Aquapel works better, lasts longer. Rain-X is OK if you also use Rain-X washer fluid, but you can't use Rain-X washer fluid with BMW, it messes with the fluid level sensor.

Just went to order - $13 shipping on a $16 part. Ouch! I’m too used to Amazon’s free shipping, will have to see what I can get on Amazon first.

Thats a heck of a good price. Shipping is $12.95 to Melbourne, FL. FCP has thier OEMs for $20.09 plus $7.99 shipping to same location. Good news is lifetime replacement less shipping costs.

I’ve been using the AeroTwins since I replaced the OEM after about 3 months and I’m happy with them.

I get them online from The Wrench Monkey for $38.88

I've been using Icons for years, but just switched the 440xi and 550xi to Bosch Focus, supposedly an improvement over the Icon's... especially at night. About $2 per blade more expensive than Icons. So far they are great, but the Icon's were too.

Couldn't one just order OEMs from FCP Euro and get free lifetime replacement warranty?
