They look good on euro e30's, but winters coming soon, you sure you want 1 wiper? lol

The problem with single wipers (my experiance is from a citroen C15 van :mad: ) is thet they push the water down infornt of you then bugger off all the way over the other side before returning..... at 50+ the water the wiper has just pushed down blows back up into your field of vision.


that really bugged me :x

I quite like them. I had one on my old 316i. Getting the old mechanism out to modify it was a pain in the ass. Lots of fiddling. Apart from that though it was quite simple to fit. I founfd it was quite effective at doing its job too.
