Original BMW Rear Window Wiper Arm Cover for BMW X3 (2011–2017) and X5 (2007–2013)

On the E70 X5 and F25 X3, this small Original BMW cap sits over the nut that secures the rear window wiper arm, covering that hardware on 2007–2013 X5 and 2011–2017 X3 models. BMW calls it the wiper arm cover. It weighs just 12 g (0.42 oz), and production of this number started in September 2006. It is made in Mexico. A wiper arm cover hides the arm's securing nut at the pivot, keeping road spray and grime off the threads and giving the rear wiper a finished look.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

This cover belongs to the rear glass wiper. It is not used on the windshield wiper arms. BMW's parts data assigns it to two chassis. On the F25 X3 it appears across versions with the N20, N47N, N52N, N55, N57N, N57Z, and B47 engines. On the E70 X5 it covers cars both before and after the facelift, with the M57N2, N52N, N55, N57, N57S, N62N, N63, and S63 engines, including the X5 M. Because one number serves both SUVs, a shop that works on both can stock a single cap for either.
