E60 wipers

[rob.kellock]

Just bought some new wiper blades for my 2006 525i.

Although genuine BMW they are not the same fittings as the last set.

The box says (in English) that the longer blade is for the driver's side but mine are fitted the other way round.

I am assuming that the instructions are for LHD cars but now wonder if mine have always been incorrectly fitted?

Does anyone know which way round they should be or could have a quick peek at their own E60?

Many thanks.

I'm sure that BMW 5's have the same wiper pattern on left and right hand drive cars, essentially the wipers are all LHD.

Am sure that's right.

But the driver's side is different over here! Is the packaging for the whole of Europe or just UK?

They seem ok as they were but according to the instructions, that's wrong...

Pretty sure drivers is 24", passengers 23".

Those are the sizes for sure.

When I did mine I'm sure that they only for one way round.

Bosch number A955S. Should be universal, LHD or RHD.

Thanks gents. Closer inspection this afternoon revealed the reason it was hard to fit them - they do only go on one way. Passenger side is 24 inch, driver's side 23, the opposite of the instructions! They have been tested to the max and remain lovely and silent.

I cant fit mine. Struggled for 15 minutes then gave up. Could I have the wrong type?
