Hi

Before 2 months I purchased a BMW 528i - 09/1996 - 182KM - it looks very new, motor scews seam never unmounted, and the motore is very clean, since 2 months I did not see any oil drop in the garage, even seats are looking very new,
but unfotunately Wipers are died, despite water can be spraid,

I browsed most related posts on this forum and other forums,
my problem now is to find the wiper relay in my car,
most posts are showing pics from 2000 and later models, I checked my car and did not found the relay,

can anyone tell me where I can find it?

I checked the E-Box under the right -for the driver place- microfilter housing, it contains 2 ABS relays, and 2 other short relays with only 5 pins, Wipers relay should be long and should have 7 pins.

is this right?

yours is an early production so it would be a regular relay K37.the long relay is for newer models.attached is a picture,its number 1 relay.
