You drive to the auto parts store, pick up a pair of wipers and then show up at Famous Dave's BBQ in Tukwila tonight at 7:30 PM for the PSMini monthly dinner.  There will be lots of people there that can show you how to swap them out.  On mine (2007 R56) it is simple pivot wiper blade to a 90* angle to the arm and press the small tab in the looped end of the arm.  The blade slides down the arm and then you slip it off.

On the R58 and R59 at least, you don't go to the auto parts store. The only place I've found them is the dealer and a replacement pair is $50. They use a different mount than all other cars on the planet.

Yes, agree. Go to the dealer. I could never find anything compatible at the parts store and they are a PITA to put on anyway.
