Of course this happens on a fri night and I i'm nowhere near the stealership - can I use a blade refill from supercheap/repco/whoever? I've removed the wiper unit but can't get the rubber blade out of the holder

[scheps]

pretty sure you have to replace the whole arm. there is a thread about this somewhere.....

[Zen]

As Scheps have mentioned, you have to replace the whole arm and there was a thread about this. If I remember correctly, it was around 90+ dollars.

bmw sure don't miss an opportunity. I bought a new pollen filter the other day, $170!!

Go to one of the bigger auto spares places and they should have a Bosch display, which ought to have a model fitment guide. Pretty sure the E90 is a generic Euro-style "J clip" in which case they should have them in stock. Most Euros (and indeed the VE Commodore) use a "beam blade" which is where the blade is constantly under spring pressure from the curved backing strip. They cost 2-3 times as much and only last 1/2 as long, but are supposedly better at clearing away water on autobahns at high speed.

Couldn't find anything suitable so it was $129.57 + gst for a pair from the dealership

Had mine changed at about the 90k mark, and it was expensive, but my wipers lasted much longer than on some of my other cars...

Another thread revival...went to trivett today for a service, quoted me 190 for wiper blades. Anyone know of a cheaper dealership in Sydney for wiper replacements.

I know this because i ordered these blades 3 weeks ago and they work fine. This after finding dealership was $150, and every Supercheap,Repco,Autobarn,Auto everything else didn't have ones that fit.

Saw this on Ebay the other day... didn't realise it was so expensive at the dealer.

I had a heap of dramas with my wipers, Shuttering on the way down at all speeds, BMW replaced/ serviced the wipers twice and still didnt do the trick so they had to end up replacing the complete wiper arm. so in case you decide to buy after market spares then wipers require attention through Warranty just make sure there still covered as I imagine the wiper arms wouldnt be cheap!

Just got back from the UK wiper blades from Halfords (order on line they will post) 2006 E90 320 £26.00 and a Titan metallic silver touch up kit for £29.00 and the paints a perfect match and easy to apply with filler kit-paint then laquer.

Didnt even get any hassle at customs
