Looking for a new or good condition wiper motor

FYI, one from an E24 6 series will work with a modification of a spaded ground wire for the 4 prong plug.

thanks for the info. Do you happen to know the part number?

 

[adawil2002]

I do not. Can search bimmer.com in the archive section for the part number for the 635/M6 wiper motor.

I found this site where I can buy a new part

https://www.onlinecarparts.co.uk/car-brands/spare-parts-bmw/6-e24/7028/10234/motor-windscreen-wipers.html#10118

I think I'll try this to see if it works.

While I'm taking it all to pieces it would make sense to refresh any bushings, etc. Does anyone know where I can get these from?

Tip: Tape your wiper arms & blades to the windscreen. It will make the motor switch easier to have the armature in the correct position when reconnecting the short arm to the motors splined shaft. Run the wiper motor 2-3 to make sure it’s properly parked. Then reattach the arm on the splined shaft. Remove the tape, lift the arms off the windscreen & test. When they park be sure they are at the bottom of the travel & not dipping too low.

I got one to work from an E12. Had to slightly move the wiring around (no cutting/splicing needed).
