Just asking has anyone recently upgraded thier wipers on the X5 both front and rear.
Any comments welcome 

I put flat blades on mine and they were fine. Eurocarparts are doing 50% off blades until the end of today. They have a good choice of makes and prices

I put aero blades on mine front and rear, a tenner a set off eBay, best wipers I've ever had.

i currently have those aero blades and they are good.  silent, and clear the screen well, missing none of the glass.

+1 for ebay under a tenner - I get a set every year from an outfit called Ace Parts - used to be Channel Islands but now onshore. One set didn't arrive. I queried it then they sent another. Both arrived at same time and they refused payment for the second set. Consequently I have a soft spot for them.
Good blades too.

I put a set of aero blades on mine. tenner off ebay.  Sorry to say they were not good. Passenger side rattled and made an awful noise, drivers side kept missing bits of the screen, squeaky. Quite annoyed by the time I had driven from The Orkneys to Cornwall!! Maybe I just chose the wrong supplier. Put some Bosch standard type on today. Bliss!!

I got a set of Bosch Aeros off ebay - I can't remember exactly how much i paid - about £15 I think .

They are excellent but if you do put them on then remove the U shaped plastic piece from under the driver side arm as they will miss areas of the windscreen if you don't !
