Wiper Blades

eX3Werks · 03-24-2021, 04:06 PM

What wiper blades do you guys use when it's time to replace? OEM or after market?

Just replaced with a set from Napa, cheaper than OEM and fit well.

Driver:
26IN EXACTFIT-BEAM
Part #: WIP 6026FZ
19.99

Passenger:
20IN EXACTFIT-BEAM
Part #: WIP 6020FZ
16.99

OEM...dealership has replaced them for me during normal service intervals. 🤷🏻

The rear wiper can be difficult to find. I had to go OEM for that one

Anyone know of a video showing how to replace the front wipers for a G01?

eX3Werks · 03-24-2021, 07:52 PM

Thanks guys. Not sure if wiper replacements are included in Canadian maintenance. I was just looking for the front wipers. I ended up having my friend buy OEM for me with employee discount. $57 CAD, not bad.

They're not included in Canadian maintenance, neither are pads or rotors

Bosch Icon blades, about $45/pair

Bosch doesn't list the fitment. I don't know about the hatch wiper, but most definitely fit the windshield pair. I think it uses their adaptor #2. I put Icons on our vehicles because they work in our shitty weather. Out of State now or I'd take a picture; sorry.

eX3Werks · 03-25-2021, 11:27 AM

Ahh I see. Do you rmb which model number you went for? Thanks for the help!

No, but they are the corresponding p/n's(widths) for Icon that one of the other Bosch beam models use. It's a glitch on the Bosch website, and all the auto part stores port the Bosch configurator. I got mine at O'Reilly Auto Parts- they had the right ones in stock even though they told me they wont fit.

There's a 5-6" difference between the passenger and drivers side wipers. I'll edit this post when I get back to Montana and look at my receipt. I put them on 6 months ago, before winter reared its ugly head.

I can get a set of Bosch wipers from RockAuto for $59 CAD delivered.

HaHa, I scan all my receipts for the cars, motorcycles and airplanes... and log the maintenance in Excel. Too many years of aircraft mechanic practices

OEM from the dealer, in stock.

b.guggenmos · 03-25-2021, 08:19 PM

I bought OEM from an online BMW parts dealer. I wanted the Bosch Icon because I have had really good luck with them in the past. I would also be interested in the not listed part number that fits.

polo2883 · 12-04-2021, 02:13 PM

If anyone wants the Bosch Icon's the 26OE (Driver Side) 20OE (Passenger side) with adapter 6 works. I just swapped my blades out on a 2021 x3.

freshxdough · 12-05-2021, 07:28 PM

Front wiper inserts can be replaced if you have OEM front wipers. Very inexpensive and still keeping OEM mounting and quality.
