I've tried loads of different wiper blades on my 3 D2s: the Bosch ones; the 'aero' type; the ones that my local car accessory shop swears are the same as the OEM ones; and the genuine OEMs.
Without a doubt, the genuine OEM ones last longer and clear the screen better. On a narrow country road (part of my daily commute) on a dark winter's morning with it being rainy/snowy/sleety/foggy, with the bl**dy great Waitrose delivery truck coming the other way, I'm more than happy to pay a little extra to see clearly!
Good wipers are just as important as good tyres IMHO.
