Talking OEM bosch wipers ... switched for rain-x wipers.

Just got rid of those terrible OEM Bosch wipers that came with the M3 ... man did they suck!!! I switched them out for those "rain-x" wipers ... thought I would try them out ... WOW! what a fantastic difference ... this time when I got caught in a downpour on the HWY I could actually still see to drive. Very nice improvement and only set me back $18.00USD for the pair ... turned out to be cheaper than those Bosch numbers .... and they worked far better for me. Word up!

Yeah, the ones that came stock were really shitty. I changed mine as well.

i changed mine out for the piaa super sporza wipers from tire rack. they were a bit expensive, but better than the oem junk.

besides, they look great.

the PIAA's super sporza are also warranteed to work the same for 5 years so no need to change wipers once a year like i would usually with say the bosch. BTW, I love my super sporza's

I just tried the Rain-x wipers for the first time. They've been great, def. worth a few extra $$ IMO.

... the rain-x wipers are about 2 months old on my MZ3 ... been baked in 35 degree celcius sun for weeks and drenched in some crazy thunder storms, even some crazy summer hail ... yes ... hail in the summer .... and they still work great!

Very happy with them thus far. especially for the price! ... way cheap and they perform fantastic. Big -Ups!

Will still try out those piaa sporzas for my next pair though ...

I've seen the rain-x wipers on their site and I wanted to get them. Now I know that I have to get them!
