Don't have my X1 yet so cannot comment on the wiper noise. Had a similar problem on my mini although it was not that bad. I started using Aquapel on all my windows and it does seem less noisy.

Different blades may sort it if its the "flip" at the end of the sweep. You say you have lifted the blades which stops the noise. Says to me that its luckily not the wiper motor/gears/cam which would have been much more difficult to resolve.

Do ask your dealer first but you could also try some of the soft natural rubber/latex ones.
