E39 Wipers - BMW 5 Series 1995 - 2003

My 2002 530 needs wipers - bad.
Two ways to fix this problem,
  1. Replace just the blade - I was never happy with the performance of the replacement blade.
  2. Replace the whole wiper - I have been happy with the performance of the new wipers but they were a hassle to get.
Normal wipers won't work on the E39, they are way too cool for that.

If you want to replace the whole wiper auto parts places around here don't stock the part. I ordered from Bavarian Auto in the past (part number 61 61 9 070 579). The wipers cost $57 plus shipping and take a few days to get here.

I found out that the NAPA part number is 3397001539 and my local O'Reilly can get them in just two days for $55

If I had shopped around a little harder I might have found them in stock somewhere close.
