Compact Wiper Arm

[W1 NER]

Does anyone know if the front offside wiper arm is the same on a m-reg e36 compact as my w-reg car? some scrote as ripped mine off!

According to Realoem: no!

The wiper arms design was changed in March '96.

You need Part No. 61618357362 by the looks of it.

Only one reply but a perfect one. Many thanks, I like the way it's describes the n/s wiper as the co-drivers side!

You are most welcome!

I know how annoying it is to get caught out buying the wrong part due to a design change part way through the cars production.

In a BMW, you're never just a passenger, you share the driving experience!


(Funnily enough though, on other sections of that site the wipers are simply described as being for the left or right side).
