Does anyone know the size of the driver's side and passenger side windscreen wipers??? 17" and 18"?

The first generation is 18" and 19" if this is of any use.

Thanks mate. I put 2 x 19" aftermarket ally wipers on my R53 and they are fine. I'm guesing they should be cool with the R56 I'm gonna take my tape measure tonight at the launch.

Yep, measuring them is the best bet! Out of interest, why do you want to change them straight away? I've found that the OEM wipers are better than aftermarkets such as Bosch!

Wil the R56 have the new style wipers like the 1 series?

I have always changed them to alloy sporty ones they look so much better on the car with spoilers on both wipers. Personal preference really.
