I modified the linkage like you said today! I actually took about 13-14MM out of the linkage, it might have been too much! I put the linkage into my vice and turned it by hand and it certainly had a full sweep! THank you for posting that information! Free mods rule -- especially when they cost $200+! And I was gonna pay that!!Current:
BMW 320i 2d 2.0 m20 -88
BMW 325i Cabriolet 2.5 m50 -88
BMW 316i touring 1.6 m40 -90
BMW 320i 4d 2,2 m54 -01

You have to heat the metal until it's near red hot to get a good bend, when you do this, the paint flakes off and discentigrates. But yeah, the wiper arm has a slight bend downward that needs taken out.
