    Somebody on this forum referred to this as being the e34's equivalent to Marilyn Monroe's mole. After that, I stopped worrying about it. I even think it's kinda cute.

    "All" our cars have this.


    Just found it:

    You can replace the wiper arms with bavauto.com or bmaparts.com tapered arms. Just give them a call. They are 50 bucks a piece. But you just need one.

    In the words of my great -uncle Ben-Allah-Shish-Kebab, ********. the simple problem is that the spindle bearing/bush is worn out and no `bodges` will get over that.The best time to replace spindles on a RHD car(cannot be that different) is four hours, unless you know different Winfred??

    I've never seen one wear out yet, but then again, I live in Oz. It doesn't rain every other day here... here it is all bonnet hinges dropping and PADs (or just ue) causing bent arms. that people then adjust on the spindle and end up hitting the bonnet.
