2010 BMW 3 Series
Wiper Blade Size
The 2010 BMW 3 Series uses 24"" and 19"" front wiper blades, with no rear wiper on this model. The blades mount on pin-lock arms. This is a standard configuration typical of mid-size sedans from this era.
The 2006–2018 BMW 3 Series all use the same wiper blade sizes, so any blade that fits the 2010 model will also fit these years.

Pin Installation Guide
Pin-type arms secure the blade with a small metal or plastic pin that locks into a hole in the arm. Found on select European and Asian models, they require pressing the pin inward to release. A small flat-head screwdriver helps with removal.
- 1 Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.
- 2 Locate the small locking pin on the underside of the blade adapter.
- 3 Use a flat-head screwdriver or your fingernail to press the pin inward and release the blade.
- 4 Slide the old blade off the arm post.
- 5 Align the new 24"" driver-side blade over the arm post and push down until the pin clicks into the locked position.
- 6 Lower the arm and verify the blade sits flat against the glass.
- 7 Repeat on the passenger side with the 19"" blade.
- 8 Spray washer fluid and cycle the wipers to verify smooth, streak-free operation.
Tips
• Pin-type arms use a small metal or plastic pin to lock the blade. A thin flat-head screwdriver makes removal easier.
• Do not bend or force the pin — it should release with light pressure.
• Some aftermarket blades include a multi-adapter kit; select the pin adapter specifically.
Rear Wiper
The 2010 BMW 3 Series does not have a rear wiper blade. This is common for sedans and coupes. If your vehicle was originally equipped with a rear wiper and it has been removed, see our rear wiper delete guide for cap and plug options.
