Follow these steps carefully
Buy one of each length. Critically, the E90 uses a side-lock connector — not the pinch tab of the later F30 — so you must buy blades with the E90-specific side-lock adapter. Sedan and coupe models have no rear wiper.
Start the car, switch it off, then press the wiper stalk down and hold it until the blades sweep up and stop vertical. Do not force the arms up from their parked position — you will scratch the hood paint or bend the arms.
I've fixed the damage from skipping this: Do not force the arms up from their parked position — you will scratch the hood paint or bend the arms.
The E90 blade slides into a side-lock channel on the arm: find the small release on the connector and slide the blade out sideways along the arm's axis. Pull the 24-inch blade free gently.
Keep a firm hand on the bare arm — never let it snap back onto the glass. I don't skip this anymore.
Remove the plastic protector from the new 24-inch blade's rubber edge and do not touch the rubber with your fingers. Compare the new blade to the old one to verify the 24-inch length.
I keep a mental note on this one: Remove the plastic protector from the new 24-inch blade's rubber edge and do not touch the rubber with your fingers.
Tug the blade firmly along the arm to confirm it is captured — the side lock should hold it with zero play. Lower the arm back onto the windshield gently, guiding it down by hand.
Do the same side-lock release and install for the 19-inch passenger blade. Double-check the 24-inch blade is on the driver side — the lengths are different enough that swapping them is obvious, but check anyway.
Start the car and tap the wiper stalk down once to return the blades to their normal park. Spray washer fluid and run the wipers on low and high, watching for streaks or chattering. If a blade chatters, the side lock probably did not fully seat — slide it off and re-fit until the click is unmistakable.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
