Intended Use and Fitment for BMW 3 Series

The presented complete wiper drive system has been specifically designed for BMW 3 Series models of the E90, E91, and E92 generations. This means maintaining the factory geometry of the wiper arms, ensuring the correct range of motion for the blades, and proper water drainage from the windshield under typical driving conditions. Using an original BMW solution minimizes the risk of installation issues and eliminates the need for wiring modifications.

Construction and Technical Characteristics

The complete wiper drive system includes the motor unit and the drive transmission mechanism, allowing for the restoration of full functionality of the factory system on the front of the vehicle.

The original manufacturing ensures proper mounting rigidity, correct lever guidance, and stable operation throughout the full range of motion. This allows the system to maintain even pressure of the blades against the windshield, contributing to clear visibility for the driver in rain and during driving in more challenging conditions.
