Found this chart:
BMW X5 Wiper Size Chart It says 18"...so I waddled down the stairs to our 2001 X and measured the rear blade: 17 3/4" edge of rubber to edge of rubber. Ours is also orig, as the rear has turned on maybe two times in 13+ years. GL, mD

Thanks for checking.
Even though 18” blade fits, I compromised and went with 16” blade. IMO, it looked goofy with larger blade in the rear. I thought about deleting. But... They do come handy brushing off the snow during winters.

I actually use mine, but it gives poor coverage in wiping the upper middle, even with a new Bosch 18" blade. In no hurry, but I may have to consider the swap some have done to the E70 version arm .....

If you are using a beam blade and having poor coverage poor coverage it may be the blade. I found that beam blades are longer than the standard ones. The wiper edges are the same but beam type blades typically are 1/2" longer on each end with its end cap. What I found was this was just long enough to touch the center brake light and cause the blade to lift slightly. I ended up using a rain-x blade, pulling the end cap off, trimming it slightly and putting the cap back on. No more lifting and the widest clearing path possible.
