... Both of my 46 M's have done this. Maybe it's a difference in the way the air flows around the coupe Vs vert?
My vert with OEM wipers does this too. It's annoying when it happens. But I don't run into that problem here in Seoul too often as "highway speed" is usually about 30 mph.

Same ones i have, got them a while ago had to check the box just says Evo Flat Blade on them not sure if its Bosch Evos or just referring to the style. What size did you get? I got the 20" and 23" seems the passenger side misses the edge a bit.

I am looking forward to your test data. After looking at the pics I was concerned that with no air dam on the arm the wipers would fluctuate in the high speed airflow...

All the new bmws come with thus style wiper stock.

They seem to function perfectly till around 95mph. Above that there's some splatter. Much better than the stock wiper's 55 mph and icons' 0 mph

I bought a set today with the part #61610037009 for my '01 vert but I have a bit of a problem.

The passenger side leaves a patch in the middle of the window and the passenger side one extends further out from the window towards the pillar! :O

Anything I should do to make them fit properly??

PS: I live in Toronto, temp. outside is at +6 degrees, so my blades are not frozen as some might imagine; it's raining outside, so I will take it for a random drive and see whats up.

if its extending past the window, it sounds like u may have put them on the wrong sides? usually the drives is longer, passenger shorter

I'm having the same issue as the Kaveh....drivers side misses on the bottom about an inch and passenger misses about an inch on the outer side.....Very damn annoying, since i paid close to $50 for some wipers that aren't any better than the ones half the price!!!
