When you're behind the wheel of a BMW, every detail matters -- especially when it comes to visibility and safety. Your wiper blades are your first line of defense in rain, snow, and slush. This guide outlines the correct wiper blade sizes in centimetres (cm) for every BMW X Series SUV from 2010 to 2025, including both front and rear blades.
We've also included helpful reminders about why and when to replace your wipers to keep your drive smooth, quiet, and streak-free.
Why Replace Your Wiper Blades?
Wiper blades may not seem like a big deal -- until you need them. Over time, rubber deteriorates due to sun, ice, dirt, and general wear. When your blades are damaged, your visibility suffers. Common signs of worn blades include:
Worn blades don't just make it harder to see -- they can also damage your windshield if the metal frame starts making contact with the glass. Routine replacement keeps your vision clear and your BMW in peak condition.
When Should You Replace Them?
Most BMW experts (including our team at Elite BMW) recommend replacing wiper blades every 6 to 12 months. But if you notice any of the issues above -- or drive often in snow, rain, or muddy conditions -- it's worth checking them more frequently.
Tip: Plan a replacement at the start of spring and again before winter. Ottawa's climate can be tough on rubber, and your visibility is too important to take chances with.
