Wipers spline dilema

[decampos]

... decampos, can you pls provide part number of the bolt-on spindles?

Hi alanmcg. Bought from the new BMW classic parts department in Germany:
the left pivot is 61611359189
the right is 61611359188

They're both 70.21 Euros which is weird as they are quite different to each other.

Just to put this tread to bed. The bolt on wipers arrived and they are great.

They are slightly different shape than the other type (see pic) but they work perfectly and they are (apparently) CS parts so it's all still original so I'm happy. There's no little spoiler either.

Thanks for all the pointers.

Addendum:
Christ the bolt on wiper arms are cheaper than the press on ones. Compare €36.80 to €196.00

Daydreaming.:?:

Single wiper used at the track. Not just installation of only one wiper blade/arm using stock design.**

Anyone familiar with this modification?

Off the shelf (Merc) or pure aftermarket? Save 1/2 on blades. :wink:

Just for your entertainment and to let you know about the "over charge" for parts from BMW in Australia.

I contacted my local dealer for the cost on parts #61611359188 & #61611359189 wiper pivots, their response - The price for each item is $549.12 inc GST.

Just a bit more than the US$80 that ECS Tuning quoted.

This is why we don't mind paying for postage from the US and Europe.
