What is the wiper size for BMW 5 Series?
2 Answers
BMW 5 Series wiper size is 26/18 inches. If you need to replace the wipers, the steps and precautions are as follows: 1. Open the external plastic cover of the old wiper. 2. Push the old wiper arm in the direction of the rod to expose the bracket hook. 3. Remove the old one and install the new one. 4. The working part of the wiper relies on rubber products, so do not use it dry. When it rains, wait until a certain amount of rainwater accumulates on the windshield before turning on the wipers. If the rainfall is too little, turning on the wipers can easily create mud marks and increase friction on the rubber part of the wipers. 5. If there are hard or difficult-to-remove items on the windshield, clean them manually first before using the wipers.
The BMW 5 Series wiper blade size is typically 28 inches for the driver side and 20 inches for the passenger side, which is common for E60 or F10 generation models. However, it depends on the specific year and production version. For example, the G30 generation might have slight adjustments of an inch or two. If you're unsure, my advice is to check the owner's manual inside the car door or measure the existing wiper blades—use a ruler to measure from one end of the rubber blade to the other, approximately 71 cm for the driver side and 51 cm for the passenger side. I replace wiper blades every six months because the rubber deteriorates easily, and poor visibility during rain is dangerous. I prefer frameless designs for better fit and reduced noise. The size must be precise—too large won't fit, and too small will miss critical areas. I recommend entering the car model and year on e-commerce platforms to select matching wiper blades. Checking the VIN is another method to ensure safe driving without issues.
