The wiper blades on your BMW X3 can be easy to forget about until you need them. To ensure they’re always ready to clear your windshield, though, you need to replace them as soon as you notice their performance begin to degrade. Squeaking, stuttering, and streaking are all sure signs that the rubber on the wiper blades is wearing out.
When buying new wiper blades, it’s important not to go with the cheapest blades you can find. These blades will quickly wear out and could cause damage to your windshield. It’s even more important to make sure that the wiper blades you buy are the correct size to fit your BMW X3 so be sure to check the chart below before buying.

About the BMW X3
On the smaller end of the BMW SUV size spectrum, the BMW X3 is officially classified as a compact luxury crossover SUV. Since the X3 seats five people just like its larger sibling, the X5, the X3 has slightly less interior room for passengers. At the same time, the overall smaller size of the X3 makes it more nimble, meaning that you’ll be better able to take on difficult driving conditions and rough terrain.
The BMW X3 has many competitors in the luxury SUV space. The Volvo XC60, Audi Q5, Acura RDX, Lexus RX 350, Cadillac XT5, and Jaguar F-Pace are all similar vehicles that drivers consider when shopping for a vehicle of this type.
The X3’s exceptional performance, enhanced by engines producing up to 503 horsepower, gives the X3 a sporty driving experience that helps it to stand out from the crowd. Drivers also appreciate the significant number of engine options available in this third generation of X3, with a total of six engines to choose from to suit any driving style.
With great power comes the need for exceptional safety, and that’s just what you’ll find in the BMW X3. Rated a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the X3 helps you to both avoid accidents and survive them when accidents are unavoidable. With so much going for it, it’s easy to see why so many drivers opt for what BMW dubs one of its “Sports Activity Vehicles.”
