wiper arm and blade replacement

[Kibokojoe]

Where can I purchase a wiper arm and blade replacement for my 89 535 (drivers side USA)? I found the passenger side no problem at the local parts store but the drivers side is not available.

Later model E34s have the right arm, just pull one from that.

As you have all the nice tools available and like working on modifications, how about Bosch Aerotwin ? The ones fit from Renault Laguna
Orginal Bosch AeroTwin for the Renault Laguna Rfers to E32, so check for E34.
Orginals are in Europe for E32 60cm & 60cm, AeroTwin for Laguna have driver side 60cm & passenger side 50cm.

For that you have to cut the upper piece of the wiper arm and reweld it again the reverse side, then it will fit.

this Aero is from Ford Ka, no chnages were made

Why on earth did they design the arms with opposite curls. Thats like nuts. So all I have to do is cut the arm flip the curl and reweld it? Then the wiper that fits on the passenger side will fit on the drivers side too? Wow what a saturday project.

Oh by the way I found nexen tires here in the USA but I have to order them from Florida $60.00 USD and free shipping. The only tires I could find that would fit the P225 60R15 were the CP641

I don't know much about this tire but it is all season and has a H rating. Sounds good enough for me

The only other option I had was the N2000 and that is too short a life for a tire

before you cut the arm, check the wiper arms first, the pics I posted are from E32 7 series, not sure if that is the same on the E34. Also check what wipers you could get, I assume the Renault and the Ford Ka are not available where you live.
