I recently replaced the wiper blades on my BMW by myself, and it felt quite simple. First, you need to find the correct model, as BMW uses different wiper blade sizes for different model years. I checked the owner's manual or searched online by entering the model year to confirm. Then, locate the release button or clip on the wiper arm, gently lift the wiper arm away from the windshield to avoid damage, and press the release button on the old wiper to slide it out. Next, align the new wiper with the slot and push it in until you hear a 'click' sound to secure it. Test it by starting the car and spraying water to check the effect, ensuring there's no noise or incomplete wiping. The whole process took less than 10 minutes and cost a few dozen yuan, saving me hundreds compared to going to a shop. I also recommend checking the rubber condition of the wiper blades every 6 months and replacing them in time to avoid blurred vision during rainy driving—safety first.
