I'm going to look into those additives I don't love the smeary film trade off but I do like the silence and it's ok to avoid running wipers at speed.
Let me know if you try one, theres actually less smeary film as the additive neutralizes some of the film left from methanol in the blue stuff - the cleaning power is absolutely there, however, and a nice fresh scent in the cabin when using the wipers - The Nextszett stuff was like $9 and makes I think 8 gallons of washer fluid -

And see post above from Stephen, if you are handy to modify the passenger wiper arm slightly (needs to be shortened 1.5"), I HIGHLY recommend the E70 (pre-LCI) wiper arm and blade retrofit -

Not only do the blades just rotate 90 degrees and slide off the arm, but you can stand both up to wash the car without the arms being vertical on the glass, which was a huge pet peeve of my E53 for a couple years - I've had them over a year now, going on 2, and love them.
