I bought OEM blades for front and rear wipers in bulk from the dealer, I got a 10% discount. I dont recall the cost, but its BMW stuff.

 

New wiper blades are about the cheapest factory BMW part you'll ever find - ESPECIALLY just the rear blade. I'd see the dealer.

 

I went to an Auto Barn/Pep Boys/whatever, and bought the closest bigger size compatable blade only, cut it to size with a tin snips, and slipped it into the wiper blade frame. I got two blades for like 6 bucks. I can find out exactly what brand and model if anyone wants to know.

Do yourself a favor and remove the blade, rotor and plug the hole up. Looks better that way.

 

Then mix with dust dirt rain snow road salt and the occasional oversized maple leaf. THe rear blade gats used far more often for me. Besides I nee the weight savings up front

I know some go out buy a larger blade slip it on and cut down to size.

 

That's easy for us AZ boys to say! Try it in Philly for a week and your rearview mirror will be worthless

 

 

thanks for all the help and advice everybody.
