{"product_id":"bmw-windshield-wiper-linkage","title":"Original BMW Windshield Wiper Linkage and Motor Assembly for BMW E90, E91, E92, and E93 3 Series and M3 (2006–2013)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW wiper system 61-61-7-161-711 is the complete windshield wiper linkage and motor assembly that drives both wiper arms on 2006–2013 BMW 3 Series and M3 models built on the E90, E91, E92, and E93 platforms. A wiper linkage is the set of rods and joints that connects the motor to the wiper arms and keeps both blades sweeping in step. BMW calls this part the complete wiper system. It comes with the motor already joined to the linkage, so the whole drive is replaced as one unit. The assembly weighs 2.6 kg (5.8 lb).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Original BMW part, this assembly included, carries a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis number replaced the earlier 61-61-4-848-601, and parts records also cross-reference 61-61-4-877-153 to the same assembly. BMW's parts data shows it in production from November 2004. It is used on both pre-facelift and facelift E90, E91, E92, and E93 cars, so one number covers every 3 Series and M3 in the fitment range below. Linkage joints wear over time from stress, corrosion, and lack of lubrication. Because the motor is part of the package, a worn linkage and a tired motor can be dealt with in one purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW (Original BMW Parts)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 61-61-7-161-711\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: wiper system, complete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents: windshield wiper linkage with wiper motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces: 61-61-4-848-601, interchangeable with older cars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-reference: 61-61-4-877-153\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.6 kg (5.8 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: November 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as: one complete assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the wiper motor come with this linkage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
