    BMW E46 windshield wipers

    I was driving in the rain today for the first time and it feels like my wipers are not doing too good of a job. It also feels like someone might have done some type of rain-x on there because the water was beading off the top of the windshield as I brought it up in speed.
    Our wipers are 2 different sizes I believe, can anyone confirm the lengths of each side? Does anyone have any suggestions for the best windshield wiper brand?

    I think it may be 22/24......

    I recommend Bosch Evo II.....

    This is what ecs has.....but doesn't indicate the size...

    http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E46-330...Wiper/ES10332/

    They may both be the same. I can't remember. I will continue to look around...but I am sure someone else will answer up.

    Cool, thanks. I'm sure autozone can point me to the right ones, if they sell those. If not I've gotta order a cooling refresh from ecs, anyway. My intake will be here Wednesday if ups is reliable. They're still on sale and back in stock.

    I went to advance auto to buy blades and they do not carry blades for E46's, for some reason. It's so weird. Apparently I have to get mine ordered.

    I got bosch icons from advanced auto when they were having a special on them. I think the sizes are 22/20. Just measure them to be sure.

    I just buy the rubber inserts from Bav Auto. I like to keep the OE blades on my car because they have the wind deflector. You wouldnt think it does much til you change them

    They used to be much cheaper than now, but still cheaper than other arms.

    Who makes them? Good deal. New wipers make me happy.
