BMW F10 Wiper Blades

[taxboy]

My Bosch wiper blades are about 12 months old and developed a squeak as the wiper arm reaches the end of its travel. I'm going to have one more go at deep cleaning the screen - glass Polish then clay then fast glass. However assuming this doesn't cure the problem who makes the "OEM" blades for the F10 please ? I'm assuming it's a lot cheaper than buying the branded version through the dealer ?

I’ve found the best wiper blades for BMWs are gen BMW.

I think you are probably correct. Just wondering who makes for BMW as they obviously don't make their own wiper blades

Bosch aero A255 or some such are BMW OEM fitment. Bought mine off eBay and they are spot on

Just use standard Bosch aerotwin wipers. The same as any F10 5 series.

Bosch have made BMW wiper arms and blades for decades. Changing blades may not help if the springs in the arms have weakened. Fast glass, and/or tar and insect remover should be enough (Simoniz tar and insect remover is good for bonnet, grille, and headlamp covers too).

What works miracles is a plain wash up liquid, squirt on a wet kitchen sponge, foam up and rinse well, as it contains lots of salt.

I would not let washing-up liquid anywhere near a car.
