Hello all, after reading this forum, i was finally convinced to join. That and a bit of encouragment from e34n.

Anyway, i know a few of you must have installed the Bosch ICON blades, the ones that look like the ones on the 07 BMWs. Are they worth the price? I'm not sure if I want to get them since my hooks at the end of the wiper arm (esp driver side) are reversed.

Also, would 92-95 wiper arms be a direct bolt on to the 89-90? Thanks!

The later wiper arms are a direct fit. I changed mine so I could use regular wipers, mine was the reverse on the drivers side too. I have never used the Bosch ones but I picked up the Michelin ones that are the same style and they work very well. I paid $13 CAD for them at Costco. I think thats less than half the price of the Bosch.

sorry to revive an old thread, but what do people mean by "reverse" and "upside down" wiper arms?

You only need to change the drivers side. Part number is 61 61 8 350 715. That is for 09/90 and up E34s. The E32 uses the exact same arm but I'm not sure what years.

Does anyone know where to get cheap wiper arms? I've been quoted me 40 and 50 a side, which is lower than the dealer, but still not inexpensive.

i got a driver's side wiper arm off a '94 540i and it didn't bolt onto my car (1989 535i) my car has a spline that the wiper bolts on to but the 540i had a tapered shaft.

According to the ETK the part number is the same from 09/90 and up no matter what model. I don't remember how it installed but the one I got was from a 94 530I and it went on no problem. Took about 5 minutes and its been on there for a year or so.
