replacement wiper blades

I have done my NAM search and I wasnt' able to find anything on the R56's. So I don't like my wiper blades and I want new ones. Who has done some replacements on the R56's? What have you used and what do you think?

thanks
Scott

What don't you like about the stock ones. Mine seem to work fine.

Aren't new wiper blades part of the initial free maintenance?

Have they changed the design of the blades since the R53? I remember there were multiple types of silicone blades to choose from for it.

Don't know if they come in R56 sizes yet, but I put Bosch ICON blades on my wife's '04 R50 and they work great. They're not silicone, but I'm a bit iffy on silicone blades.

If the windows aren't cleaning well, you might be able to scrub it with Bon Ami.
