Yeah what gave me the idea was that my wife's car was a 2008 Volvo XC90 V8 R-design and i thought the rear wiper just looked so integrated. so I removed it and test fitted it on my X5 and it is a perfect fit. So I ordered a used one from a dismantler on ebay and replaced the blade with a new one and upgraded the look of my X5 .

Fixing to order one but it shows 16" blade on the Volvo. Could you tell a difference in how big an area it wiped vs the 18" that comes on the bmw?

No the 16" inch blade and wiper is plenty sufficient over the 18". Like I said I was more pleased with the aesthetic beauty of the the Volvo rear wiper blade over the E53 wiper blade.

I cant make up my mind if I want to swap or not. If I hadn't of just ordered the new bosch icon blade to go in my current one I would try it for sure.

Did run across this interesting wiper mod while doing research. Figured I would share..
