Really daft question

Hi guys a really stupid question for you, I'm trying to find a set of front wipers that fit with the original clips on the end of the arm. I have so far tried mitchelin and Bosch wipers neither fit with original cap. What wipers are people using here ?? Or do I need to get creative with hacksaw to trim the plastic clips.

I have a pre lci E91 08 plate.

Had the same problem. Took the £35 Bosche ones back to Halfords, bought the £37 ones from BMW Ebay store, they (obviously) fit perfect. For the sake of £2 just get the proper ones.

Edit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Genuin...item27d14c8a41 these?

I have been and cut the clips down now so they fit well and don't rattle on the arm and the cover fits on next time I think I will just get bmw ones lol.

I just bought the bosch ones from Eurocarparts as they had a discount. £20 instead of £28.

Hopefully they work...
