Haven't bought wiper blades for an E70, but for my 535 and X3 I got them in Vancouver at Lordco. Working from memory here, but I think they were Bosch.

Tischer wants $65 down here for a set.

They are bosch and if you search the part number, a bunch or OEM replaements come up including Bosch

Part number is 61610034739 for a set

https://www.koperformance.com/part-number/61610034739

Amazon.com: Valeo 900-24-5B Ultimate Wiper Blade - 24": Automotive

Looks like you should be able to pick up a pair of Bosch replacements that should be direct fit for under $50

Silly question - is your car out of warranty? If not, they are included!

He's located in Canada, which does not have the free maintenance of the U.S market.

Sorry, didn't realize the Canada aspect...or that they didn't have the same coverage! Pleading "Newbie Mistake!" LOL

No it doesn't. Have you read about the experiences many US posters have with their dealers? I will take the quality of the BMWCA dealer network over the US dealer network any day.

I just called Lordco and they have this one on sale, $14.99, good price but I want to confirm if it can fit on E70.
