Looked around and could not find anything relating to the problem I am running into right now with wanting to check out/replace my wiper motor. I jsut picked up the car this past saturday and tested the wipers [starting our summer rainy season] and they are ungodly slow.. takes a lil over two seconds for them to do a full wipe on the highest setting. I jumped 15 and 53b[?] in the fuse box to see if it was not my relay and they went just as slow.
I did some searching around on here and other places and the write ups I see just do not seem to match up on what I see :(

This is what I see [forgot to take the picture when I had the cover off.. I cant seem to find a way to take the motor off the linkage that goes to the wiper blades themselves [Yes took off the big 13mm nut on each side which made the assembly drop but cant not get that WHOLE thing out]
on other write ups I see this [below] which they say helps in removing the motor.

I think I may have seen a post or two somewhere, where they said the blower motor had to come out [DEAR GOD NO] and I could drop the WHOLE assembly out that way..... please tell me this is overkill :(
OH, she is a 1987 325is, I have fallen in love with BMW's all over again because of her, but would be nice to be able to drive in the rain >.<
