Anyone have a source for OE (or good quality non-or) wiper refills.
I’ve been using Michelin blades from Costco, which are OK, but I’d like to reuse the OE aero blade and it’s companion if possible.

Why not just buy new oem wiper blades. They arent that expensive.
you can get part number from here: https://www.hubauer-shop.de/en/set-o...612151749.html i have ordered a couple sets of Bmw branded wipers over the years and from dealer aswell and even there they did not cost that much.,. Last year i was ordering parts online for my car and saw that this webshop also offered Bosch branded wiper sets for my Z4. Partnumber matched and everything... So decided to try them out and added them to the basket aswell... I was expecting Bosch wiper set to be identical to the BMW oem set but when they arrived they were not.. That plastic spoiler on the drivers side wiper wasnt plastic part anymore but was a much smaller cheap piece of bent sheet metal integral to the wiper frame. Also passenger side wiper wasnt exactly the same size and was a bit longer than oem and the end of it was lifting off the glass when in resting position. i didnt bother to send them back ( too much hassle for a 25 eur part) and did end up still using them and they do do the job. But next time i need a new set im going back to BMW oem wiper set. Its only 10 eur difference in price.

I just ordered a set of BMW wipers form ECS tuning. Came out to $55.
https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...s/61612151749/ Now the next round if I could just replace the actual blade part that would be ideal. |

Plus one on real BMW..tried Bosch and a couple of other ‘premium brands’ not a patch on OE BMW..not a fan of promoting OE items at inflated prices but in this case a no brainier..

Well, "Plus shipping for orders under $59" https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...s/61612151749/ Now the next round if I could just replace the actual blade part that would be ideal. That is the actual blade part (plus the insert). You must mean the arm; but why would you replace that? |

https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...es-61612151749 The only catch is you have to buy the replacements and then return the worn ones to get credit. It ends up costing you return shipping to replace them after the first pair. (You just have to find the cheapest way to ship them.)
