BMW Wiper Blades
BMW Wiper Blade Parts
Quality is an aspect of the BMW brand that has become recognized worldwide since the day they manufactured their first model. They have constantly produced vehicles with distinguishing designs while giving a vow to keep at the high specifications their customers are anticipating. BMW is still creating quality within its extended product line. This has put them in the league of the German big three, and more specifically, with their wiper blade parts and components. Your BMW’s windshield wiper blades are a vital piece to your vehicle. As windshield wipers age over time, the rubber that wipes the water off and allows the windshield to stay clean can become dry and crack. This will result in terrible performance and ultimately may even harm your windshield. Getting a new set of wipers on your BMW will make driving safer by helping your visual scope, especially when it is raining hard outside. BFCP Euro recommends replacing the blades once a year. When replacing your BMW wiper blades, first pull the wiper arms outward and place them on their hinges. Examine the clip that holds the windshield wiper blade in place. This will be different on different makes and models, but all BMW windshield wiper clips are comparable. If you have questions about BMW’s windshield wiper blade parts or components, the FCP Euro team and website are standing by to assist you.

Next, take off your BMW’s wiper by gliding the clip off the arm of the wiper. You sometimes will have to turn the wiper towards or away from the vehicle in order to free it from the wiper arm. Make sure to wash the windshield while the arms are extended away from your window. Match up the old clip that is holding the wiper in place with the clips that come with your new wiper. Usually, wipers come with numerous clips to select from. Pick the exact same-looking clip or the most identical. Some wipers will be standing by to put in. Install your new clip onto the new wipers and glide it onto the wiper arm. You will hear and feel a click as it snaps into place. Make sure the wiper blade is not binding or improperly in place. It should be in the correct direction with the rubber surface in front of the windshield. They are now installed, so place the wiper arms back down and onto the windshield. If your BMW’s windshield wipers stop working while you are driving in bad weather, this is a serious safety issue. Make sure to take care and examine them regularly in order to prevent this from happening.

How often should I replace my BMW wiper blades?
For optimal visibility and safety, it's recommended to replace your BMW wiper blades at least once a year.

Regular checks for signs of wear such as streaking, skipping, or squeaking noises can help determine the right time for replacement.
Does BMW use Bosch wiper blades?

Are OEM wiper blades better than aftermarket for my BMW?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) wiper blades are specifically designed to fit and perform optimally for your BMW, offering a perfect balance between quality and durability. While some aftermarket blades can provide good performance, OEM and genuine BMW wiper blades tend to have better fit, higher quality materials, and longer lifespan, ensuring a clearer windshield and superior driving experience.
How do I choose the right wiper blades for my BMW?
To choose the right wiper blades for your BMW, consider the model and year of your vehicle to ensure compatibility. Look for genuine BMW wiper blades or OEM parts for assured quality and fit. For additional info on the specific type of wiper blade your vehicle requires, consult your BMW's owner's manual or contact our expert technicians for advice.
Can I replace just the rubber on my BMW wiper blades, or do I need to replace the entire blade?
While it's possible to replace just the rubber strip on some wiper blades, it's often recommended to replace the entire blade assembly. This ensures the new wipers perform efficiently, as the metal or plastic structure can also wear out and affect performance. For the best results, consider replacing the entire wiper blade with a genuine BMW or OEM part.
