Second Hand BMW 7 Series Wiper Blades

The F01 generation 7 Series ran from 2008 to 2015, with a facelift in 2012, so a 2010 and a 2013 car are both F01 but sit either side of that facelift boundary. Wiper blade arm attachments and sweep dimensions can change at a facelift, so while the body generation is shared, confirm with the breaker that the blade fitment hooks and lengths match your specific registration before buying.

No, the engine makes no difference to wiper blade fitment on the 7 Series — blades are determined by the body generation and whether the car has been facelifted, not by what is under the bonnet. A 730d and a 750i on the same generation will use the same front wiper blades.

No — the E65 generation ran from 2001 to 2008 and the F01 from 2008 to 2015, and these are entirely different body shells with different wiper arms and screen geometry. You need to source blades that match your specific generation, so make sure the breaker knows which chassis code your car is.

Trim level does not affect wiper blade fitment on the BMW 7 Series — blades from an SE, M Sport, or any other trim within the same generation will be the same part. The only cosmetic difference you might notice is that some cars have wiper blade covers or finishers that vary in condition or colour, but the blades themselves interchange freely across trims.

No — the NS (nearside, passenger) and OS (offside, driver) wiper blades on the 7 Series are different lengths, as is standard on most cars, so they are not interchangeable between sides. Always tell the breaker which side you need, or ideally source both as a pair to ensure a match.

The G11 is the standard long-wheelbase saloon and the G12 is the extended-wheelbase variant introduced in 2015, and because the windscreen and wiper geometry is the same between them, the front wiper blades are generally the same part. That said, confirm the exact blade lengths and hook fittings with the breaker against your registration to be certain before purchasing used parts.
