Wiper blades

[martauto]

HI guys,
My e34 525 needs new blades and I could do with some good advise on this subject .
I currently run my e30 on flat blades from Tesco and after 12 months I`m really pleased with them , especially after this crap winter we have had so I was wondering if I can fit these to my e34 , and if so could you tell me what size blades I need please
Any other ideas on blades will be most welcome along with a link to where I could buy them from.

Cheers, Mart.

Bosch wiper blades, from your local motorfactor/Halfrauds, a quick google says you need a pair of 24" blades.

Much obliged for the reply mate.

Easier said then done. My local Halfrauds doesnt make Halfrauds own ones for my car..... and they NEVER have the Bosch ones. I suppose I could order them of t'interweb but....

I must be lucky, almost everywhere round here stocks Bosch, It cost me £12 for a pair of 20" wipers from the local parts shop, 1 with a spoiler and 1 without.

how long do you plan to keep the car for?

Piaa silicone blades are the only ones i would actually pay for.

ok, so they seem silly expensive (between £15 and £20 each usually ) but theyre awesome. they make bosch blades feel like poundland specials, they work prefectly no matter what the temperature, never ever seem to wear out and leave the screen with a water repellant 'just rainX'd ' type coating.

the ones on my e30 have been on for 3 years, and still work like new. all the bosch ones ive tried have started juddering in well under a year, and don't work as well as piaa ones even when new.

I read about these silicone blades in Practical Classics. Very popular in Scandinavia and other lots of snowy/icy countries.

Trade card at Halfords- wipers for an e36 were under £5 all in.

Trade card at Halfords

Being the operative word. Had a mate who worked on bikes but as a staff perk had a trade card. Trouble is he gone to work at a different store. Now I'm back to square one
