To replace the windshield wiper blades on a BMW 5 Series, lift the arm to which the blade is attached so you can leverage it with an object like a screwdriver to remove the clip that holds it in place. Once the blade is free from the arm, tilt it slightly downward and completely remove the blade from its housing; the new replacement part can then be secured by attaching it to the arm with the corresponding clip.

Finally, reposition the wipers to ensure they function correctly.
