Wiper replacement

Hi All,
Has anyone replaced their wipers yet? I hate the BMW blades but am not sure if I can put rain X on my car. Theoretically, what would the blade sizes be?

Thanks!

I still can’t find replacement wipers. I can get the OEM ones from the dealer but I’m hoping to get something that works better.

Bosch Icon OE is a perfect fit and great replacement for the BMW ones.

So agree on the wipers. I cannot believe how bad they are on a car that costs as much as it does. I tried to get my dealer to replace them under warranty, but they refused. My prior ‘21 Audi A6 blades worked so well. This car is horrendous at not streaking. Maybe I’ll try those Bosch ones.

I bought the Bosch icons but while they were shipping I blew out a tire and it’s on back order so as soon as I get my car back next week I’ll update you all.

Why did the dealer refuse? I’ve had wipers replaced under warranty on new-ish but not brand new cars.
