I've been Googling around for an answer to this and I've not been able to find anything useful - mostly just threads about people troubleshooting them.

I have a UK-spec 325i Sport in Australia, so the wipers aren't needed (and they don't currently work). Is there a simple way to take them off, or is there an installation guide I could follow in reverse? I have the Bentley manual and it's not covered.

Installation guide is in the wiki (use the link in the tech. help sub forum), but it's just a matter of removing the bits you don't want.
Note that the wiper blades, if in good condition, are probably worth enough to warrant their postage costs to the UK.

Removal and resale of the whole system is worth it.
