My OEM wiper blades started streaking so needed to replace.
I was surprised as I only have ~5k miles and 2 years mostly spent in the garage.
I did some research and it appears the OE brand is Bosch but a lower model (Aerotwin) and I have had luck with ICONs in the past so I decided to give them a shot.
They are pretty expensive (~$29 per blade) but I am happy with the performance and hope they will last longer than the OEMs; I have run them at least 2x as long as other wipers on other vehicles. I have not noticed a huge difference between different brand blades when new (as far as cleaning the windshield) but quality shows over time as the ICONs have outlasted every other brand I have used in the past.
They also have proved to work very well in cold/snow which I will drive in at times with the X3MC.
Other than the cost, the only downside is they are slightly less "sleek" but nothing I really notice.
Just another option if anyone was interested.
Here are the model numbers:
Driver: 26OE (
NOT 26A - you need the "OE" model to connect to the arm).
Passenger: 20OE
Adapter (included): #6
Here's a video from Project Farm comparing different blades:
