What is the size of the wiper blades for the BMW 5 Series?

For models produced between 2003 and 2010, the wiper blade sizes are 24 inches + 23 inches. For models produced after 2011, the sizes are 26 inches + 18 inches. Here are some key points to consider when selecting wiper blades: 1. First, determine the specific wiper blade model required for your vehicle, which can be found in the owner's manual. 2. Ensure the connection method between the wiper arm and the blade is compatible. Some arms are secured with screws, while others use a locking tab. 3. Lift the wiper blade and inspect the rubber blade by running your finger along it after cleaning. Check for any damage and assess the elasticity of the rubber. If the blade is aged, hardened, or cracked, it is not suitable for use. 4. Test the wiper blades at various speed settings to ensure they maintain consistent operation. Pay special attention to intermittent modes to confirm the wipers maintain a steady speed during movement.

I've been driving a BMW 5 Series for several years and found that its wiper blade sizes are generally 26 inches for the driver side and 17 inches for the passenger side, though this may vary slightly across different model years. For example, pre-2010 E60 generation models sometimes used 24-inch and 18-inch blades. I recommend owners check their specific vehicle's measurements before replacement—it's simple, just measure the old blades with a ruler or consult the parts section of the owner's manual. Don't underestimate the importance of correct sizing; choosing the right length prevents skipping or noise, ensuring clear visibility in rainy conditions. I make it a habit to replace wiper blades every six months to avoid degraded rubber affecting cleaning performance. There are many wiper brands on the market—I've tried some universal ones compatible with BMWs, which are hassle-free to install. DIY replacement saves money and gives peace of mind. Driving safety is paramount, and precise sizing allows wipers to sweep more effectively.

What lights to use when meeting another vehicle?

When meeting another vehicle, use low beam headlights. On roads without street lights or poor lighting, when the distance to the oncoming vehicle is about 150 meters, you should consciously switch to low beam and reduce speed. Avoid using high beam headlights at close range, as the strong light can dazzle the other driver and make it difficult to see the road clearly. High beam headlights should only be used on roads without lighting. They should not be used when following another vehicle at close range, nor should they be used in conditions of low visibility such as fog, rain, snow, or dust. Relevant regulations from the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Article 48, Paragraph 5: On roads without central barriers or center lines, vehicles meeting at night should switch to low beam when the distance to the oncoming vehicle is more than 150 meters. Low beam should also be used when meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges. Motor vehicles passing through intersections controlled by traffic signals should use low beam at night. Article 58: When driving at night without street lights, under poor lighting conditions, or in low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, motor vehicles should turn on headlights, clearance lights, and tail lights. However, high beam should not be used when following another vehicle at close range in the same direction. In foggy conditions, motor vehicles should turn on fog lights and hazard warning flashers. Article 59: When passing sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, pedestrian crossings, or intersections without traffic signals at night, motor vehicles should alternately use high and low beam headlights to signal.

How to Transfer an Out-of-Town License Plate to a Local One?

To transfer an out-of-town license plate to a local one, first, check the vehicle's emission standard and consult the local vehicle management office to see if they accept vehicles with that emission standard. If acceptable, you must first go to the vehicle management office where the original license plate was issued to complete the second-hand vehicle transfer procedures. After fulfilling the local requirements, proceed with the vehicle file transfer process. Then, take the vehicle's file to the local municipal public security bureau's vehicle management office to complete the registration process. Provided the vehicle management office approves the transfer, apply for the registration transfer according to the following regulations and locations: 1. Imported vehicles and domestic models such as Shanghai Buick, Guangzhou Honda, Changchun Audi A6L, Fengshen Bluebird, Shanghai Passat, Hainan Mazda, as well as police vehicles, taxis, training vehicles, minibuses, special vehicles, embassy vehicles, and foreign vehicles should be processed at the vehicle management office. 2. Urban areas do not handle the registration of agricultural transport vehicles and various motorcycles. For motorcycles, agricultural transport vehicles, and specialized machinery in suburban districts and counties, go to the local vehicle management station. 3. Other vehicles should be processed at the vehicle management sub-office corresponding to the owner's residential address.
