Frequently Asked Questions

What size wiper blades does a BMW X5 take?

The BMW X5 E70 (2007-2011), E70 Facelift (2012-2013) and F15 F85 (2013-2018) take a 24 inch (600mm) driver blade and a 20 inch (500mm) passenger blade. The G05 (2019-2024) takes a 26 inch (650mm) and 20 inch (500mm) pair, and the E53 (2000-2006) takes a 24 inch (600mm) and 22 inch (550mm) pair.

Does the BMW X5 have a rear wiper?

Yes, every BMW X5 listed is fitted with a rear wiper as standard. The rear blade is 17 inches (425mm) on the E53, 15 inches (375mm) on the E70 and E70 Facelift, 12 inches (300mm) on the F15 F85 and 14 inches (350mm) on the G05.

What wiper connector does the BMW X5 use?

The E53 and F15 F85 use a J-hook connector, where the hook on the arm passes through the blade adaptor and clicks into place. The E70 uses a side lock connector, while the E70 Facelift and G05 use a push button connector that releases when the button is pressed.

Do the BMW X5 E70 and E70 Facelift use the same wiper blades?

The sizes match, with both taking a 24 inch (600mm) driver blade, a 20 inch (500mm) passenger blade and a 15 inch (375mm) rear blade. The connector is different, with side lock on the E70 (2007-2011) and push button on the E70 Facelift (2012-2013), so owners should confirm their build year before ordering.

How often should I replace BMW X5 wiper blades?

BMW X5 wiper blades should generally be replaced every 12 months, or sooner if they streak, smear or chatter. Large SUVs used for towing or touring often cover long distances in mixed weather, so the blades are worth checking before any long trip.
