    Wiper blades

    What does everyone recommend for wiper blades for the e46?
    I see bosch aero, superplus and icon mentioned as well as the OEM (which are bosch too i think) on other forums

    I got a set of hellas from super4 last year and they were half the price and I think they're excellent.

    Wipers are really hit and miss which each set iv tried valeo and bosch iv had good and bad sets of both ,the bosch start out great but tend to go bad quite quick like after 6 weeks

    I'm currently using Valeo aero wipers and they are quite decent.

    I dunno...never had an issue and in 7 plus years of having the E46, I've only changed the wipers twice (with super plus)

    Well you got two good sets then! :P

    The wipers on my car are totally shocking, but since Ive a coating on the windscreen, dont have to use them much and when I do, they arent as bad as they were before the coating was applied. Have a few set waiting to go on, but wanted to make sure the freezing temperatures were gone.

    Wiper blades

    I've always found the oem ones the best.
    That said I stopped at Halfords in Mahon point to get a replacement bosche one for the pass side as SWMBO couldn't see a thing, they were out of stock though.

    I think halfords are finished with bosch , they dont stock bosch batterys anymore and are replacing bosch ones under warranty with yuasa ones , they cleared all bosch bulbs and wipers on clearance last year
