G60 Wipers

Can ANYONE advise if they have found G60 right hand driver front wiper blades that are not supplied by BMW?

I have always bought Bosch wipers which are ten times better than the bmw provided ones, but for the G60, I have nonly been able to find BMW ones at a cost of £73!

Ideally, looking for Bosch or Valeo wipers.

Any advice would be amazing if someone has found a viable non bmw.

Pretty sure BMW OEM wipers are made by Bosch.

Trying to find non BMW options…….£70 for wipers is a joke!

I struggled and with a bit of trial and error I came across these and they fit a treat.

Just to confirm, for anyone wanting to change the BMW OEM wipers, having run the BMW supplied £70 wipers vs the Bosch ones for
Under £30, the difference in quality is staggering. Bosch ones while not having an exact fitting clip, once it does click into place, it is solid and the Performance is fantastic, zero streaks and judder even in light or heavy rain.

The ones to get for the G60 are:

Bosch AP26U & AP19U.

They come in a twin pack in the UK called:

Bosch Multi-Clip Aerotwin APU - Twin Pack

Big shout to parsco for the recommendation!

Hopefully soon Bosch will create a bespoke version with the clip built in.

The Bosch Icon OE has the clip built in. Do you have access to those in the UK?

I can’t find them in 26/19 pack. We do sell them over here, but not from many places. Until now I didn’t even Know they existed.

What’s different between the aero twin and ICON series?

Outside of the clip in I’m not sure. The Icons are great blades though.
