OEM Windshield wipers

Hi,

What is the best place outside of the dealer to buy OEM windshield wipers for 2011 bmw 328i sedan?

I found that the OEMs are the best, but the dealer wants $67 which seems a bit high.

Thanks

Cost-wise, it would be silly to buy BMW branded wipers as they are made by Valeo and are available at nearly half the cost.

The model is Valeo 574470. Just Google it to find the lowest price plus shipping. Should be no more than $30 including shipping.

Just over from Amazon these days. And identical to what the dealer put on my car under maintenance warranty.

Errr.. just buy the BMW original ones from FCPEuro and get a free replacement every year. They work great and I never have to worry about improperly fitting wiper blades, and the replacements are free with no questions asked.

Still cheaper to by the valeos from FCP and do the same thing. They're the same wipers. The box is the only difference. Personally, I prefer the Bosch over either.
