are the wiper arms different lengths?

[BLUNT]

ive went thru 4 or 5 pairs of arms to try and get the nicest ones and i really am lost now. i have 2 really nice arms but one is maybe 3/4" longer than the other. anyone know if the stock set up is this way??

airfoil while the pax side doesn't. I do know the wiper arms on my 69 (with 13 inch blades from the factory) are the same length as the 73's that came with 15" blades...

Roundies= silver; squarelights=black.

I've been told the Touring had longer arms, which is why mine don't clear the more raked screen as much as a saloon because I have the wrong arms. Never clarified this - perhaps Inka Steve can get his tape measure out.

both arms are the same length on my 73 Tii. The driver's side wiper blade & housing are longer, but that's it.

Both arms measured 13 3/4"

After searching through the BMW Blue Parts Manuals, I have noted the following:-

Touring Wiper Arms 61 61 1 352 737 & 738.

These are also used on the E3 Sedans (2500/2800/3.0S)

If you have Wiper Arms that are a little longer then they are probably the ones above.

The Touring also had the option of 16" rubber blades instead of the 15".

My 76 has equal length arms - 13.75 each, in black. I run 16" blades with no issues (except 1" more wiping!).

i just measured mine and 16" blades work as well
