Which windshield wipers to get?

iFroze · 10-22-2012, 02:10 PM

I have about 2,000 km left to drive until my first maintenance due. I assume that on that occasion, BMW doctors will change my windshield wipers as well. Do you guys suggest buying a new set of wipers that may be better quality than the ones that BMW installs?
I do not see any Bosch wipers offered on amazon. They are mainly showing Rain-X as suitable for our car.

What do you plan to do for yourself?

From the very beginning, I felt that the original wipers were making smudges a bit too much for my taste (whether if they were used on the rain or while spraying the Rain-X Washer Fluid).

I wish if there is a better solution for wipers.
