Need new screen wipers I feel, mine measure 495mm and 575mm but the info I've seen so far suggests these are bigger than OEM.
I've seen info that says OEM should be 475mm and 550mm
Next question is blade or traditional?
Get measuring girls:smokin:

Traditional.
Blades look and are cheap.

Get the new OEM BMW ones from the dealer mate they are the low profile blade type and are perfect fit, and are silent and streak free!
Don t forget to remove the little plastic part on the drivers one.
Instructions are on the box!

I recently had my InspII and while it was in, asked them to fit new ones. They fitted the new Aero style ones.. Part no below.
B61.61.0.037.027 SET E46 FR/W/BLADES £31.94
I don't have any sizes (Sorry) or photos (Again, sorry lol) as I'm offshore. Only have the invoice as I scanned it to show a mate over in Scotland as he couldn't how cheap I got the InspII for.
Hope this helps, even a tiny wee bit Shim. They're good and as cf1 says, silent and streak free.

have you got a back up plan (loan car) just in case they have it longer than you are expecting ?
I need to read the thread again but has anyone got the same size wipers as each other :smt017

looked now, looks like Shimmy has the wrong size and also looks like his oem size info may be wrong
