Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line began with remanufactured wiper motors and remains focused on OE-level restoration. Part number 43-2122 is rebuilt, tested, and function-checked to support proper windshield wiper operation on BMW 328i, 335i, and M3 front applications, along with related 3 Series variants listed below. The remanufacturing process addresses wear items and electrical integrity so the finished motor is ready for dependable operation.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Slow or inconsistent wiper movement
• Wipers stopping in the middle of the windshield
• Poor park position or misalignment at the base of the glass
• Electrical wear inside the motor assembly

Installation Notes

• Verify vehicle-specific fitment before installation on BMW 323i, 325i, 328i, 328i xDrive, 328xi, 330i, 330xi, 335i, 335i xDrive, 335is, 335d, 335xi, and M3 front applications.
• Use the existing washer pump only if your vehicle setup supports it; this motor is supplied without a washer pump.
• If the wipers park incorrectly, inspect crank arm position and reset the park angle as needed.
• Some BMW wiper systems will not operate correctly if the washer pump is defective, so bench test both components when diagnosing a failure.
• For moisture-sensitive systems, confirm the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE remanufactured wiper motor is re-engineered and tested to match OE performance. Main internal components are checked against original standards, and final function testing is performed on the vehicle application to help confirm proper operation.
