The cleanest fitting flat wiper blades for E46 are....

What?

Why would I need to defend anything? I only ever post my experiences, if my experience has been a positive one then why would I lie and post something different.

And anyway, the Alca ones aren't exactly ebay specials.

Edit*
And others who have put them on their e46 cars (bmwland) have also had positive experiences. And this thread is about e46 vehicles so...go figure.
 
No.

I posted my experience of these blades on my car. Having had Valeo, Bosch, Halfrods own and ebay ones over the years on the same car I felt it was relevant to post my opinion of them in this thread.
 
I change wipers once or twice a year. Looking back now, all the blades I've had have not had un-wiped patches but instead after some time begin to judder on the windscreen. They wiped just fine even if they did judder though. The non aero blades from Valeo and Bosch juddered the loudest.

I rated the Bosch ones lower than the others because they didn't last as long as I was expecting them to while the cheaper ebay ones lasted a big longer depending on what ones I got from the seller. The Bosch cost twice as much (or more if bought from the dealer). I don't keep blades on longer because I want to try something new and after 6-12 months of coastal weathering I find it's worth doing anyway anyway. The Alca ones are still wiping as smoothly as they did the first few days though so I imagine they will last longer than others I have bought before.

I don't care if something costs more if it's worth the extra. But I do care if it costs more and doesn't end up being worth it, like the Bosch blades bought from both Halfords and BMW.

Blades don't last too long down here with the salty weathering but the Alca cost £15 and have a smarter looking design than any other blade so I'll just get them again later on in the year when needed.
 
It doesn't bother me any more though as I no longer drive to work so the wipers will only get used when I'm out driving casually and it's raining at the same time. The chances of me wanting to go for a drive when it's raining though are slim.
