Wiper blades are very important in my opinion. I want a pair that clean all the water on each pass and don’t make any noise as they sweep across the glass. On a rainy evening the glare of oncoming traffic is difficult enough to endure.
I buy from the BMW dealer and have them install as I know they’ll be excellent but expensive. The incremental cost is worth not having to shop around for an acceptable alternative to save $30-$40.
But then I take good care of them by not using when frozen to the windshield and cleaning them when washing the cars. Most last me several years.
