RealOEM.com * BMW E70 X5 M SINGLE PARTS FOR REAR WINDOW WIPER

Chilli,
Thank you.

Just so I don;t look like a complete idiot. Check out my original post. I was trying to get on realoem.com this afternoon and it was saying the website was under construction.

Of course the one part I need it states "ended". When the heck does that mean? I searched that part # at the bavauto.com site and it is $41.

Problem solved.

Thank you

M

Wow, we really hijacked the crap out of this thread. But it is mine, so who cares.

We all did the COUNTDOWN!! :D It will be over before you know it. Now set her up for a fellowship afterwards - she'll love you!

Cheers,

OK, I received the parts, removed the nut that holds it on and... the damn wiper arm will not come off. am I missing something? I don't want to break it but it will not budge.

And still really enjoy it every once in a while. But my priorities shifted.

The X5M is awesome in WI. A foot of snow, snow tires and 550hp :wow: Black may have been a bad choice but I wash it and let someone else worry about fixing the swirls.

Finally, someone with a healthy view of the world! I used to be like most people who post "you took your car to a car wash! The horror! Wash it your self every weekend!:yikes:"

After residency for myself and my wife as well as 3 fellowships in total for the both of us...screw taking 2 hours to wash a car the right way and I get them washed every couple of weeks at a local place that does a pretty good job. Twice a year polish/wax does the trick.

Good luck to your wife finishing.

Thanks Xray. You can only image the crap I used to get when I told the Porsche forum that I took my 911 thru the car wash. I will probably buy another one next year and I will take it to a car wash.

There was a period in my single life when I had several cars, boats, motorcycles and jetskis. I could spend 40 hours a week just cleaning and preping. I would rather have fun driving them.

So once I remove the nut, I cannot get the wiper arm off.

No comments on how very dirty it is. It has rained the last two days.

Any help would be great.

Does that say Xavier University? Are you a Muskee?
