Hi there, I believe that there must be different wiper arm lengths as I have just replaced mine, UK model and they had to 15inches. I had previously fitted 17 inch ones and ther overlapped the chrome trim by 2inches on the near side.
Even 15inch blades have a slight overhang, but acceptable I feel. Regards, Danny.

OK, I have done some research. My car is a series 3, there are different sizes for driver and passenger sides. The part number for the driver's side is DAC6135 (400mm or 15 inches). The passenger side part number is DAC 10273 (357mm or 14inches) This explains why there is a slight overhang on the nearside.

I just measured the single blade on my '96 and it's 20 inches. A 21 should work.
A search at Rockauto shows the majority to be 21, with one or two at 20.

Just wanted to clear that up for those who might be lurking, so they are not mis-informed.
