With enough money, time, talent, expertise, equipment and parts I'm sure anything is possible.

I had one on a VW Sirroco once. Not much to write home about.

You must be running out of mods?

don't know the look you are looking for, but the Bosch Icon works great for the front - for some reason, they don't make one for the rear because it is a flat window surface.

I don't recommend going to the single wiper design for obvious safety reasons. If the single wiper design worked so well, why did MB went away from it? Just take one look at how your rear wiper work compared to the fronts should be convincing enough for you in a heavy rain storm.

But its a Mod

The logic of this group is that almost all mods are better and bigger is better.

Are you saying that the existing BMW set-up is better than a mod?

How about adding lights to the washer ports it will look special.

Are you saying that you are not into underbody lights and other bling?

You know that having a BMW is not good enough it must have that special "mod" look, how about a set of 25" rims?
