Hi Dave, Looked on there and the price is more than other places. I'm looking up the part number not the model of car to try to avoid that thing that just because it's an X3 prices should be more. I'm getting together with my dad at the weekend to try our last fix. I'll keep you posted on the outcome 😀 Fingers crossed eh 😂

Hi Dave, I haven't tried those specificly but most second hand / salvage parts I've seen suffer with the centre post rusting which causes the spindle to eat itself and self destruct. I think for the aggro removing it and fitting it I'll try one last fix then might have to stump up some cash and just buy one. I've found a RHD unit in Latvia for £120. 😲 Oh well looks like Latvia is gonna be getting an order soon. Thanks man for the replies it has helped a lot 👍

Thanks man, just called them and can't buy the linkage on its own. You have to buy it with motor £300 😲

HI ALL, New to the forum & BMW ownership. Bought a 2007 X3 3.0D M SPORT AUTO and the front wiper linkage is worn and broke. I have the correct UK Right Hand Drive OEM Part number 61617051670 but cannot find a new one in the UK ?? All the ones i have found on EBAY and similar sites including EURO CAR PARTS, GSF CAR PARTS and the like link the request to a similar part number (61617051669) which is for a Left Hand Drive which are different parts completely of course..... Has anyone had the same problem ? How did you source a new one ? as i don't want to but second hand / used as the ones i have seen online are rusty too just like my broke one...... Any direction would be greatly appreciated 😊
