I'm trying to find a new right side wiper arm for a '01 Z3 3.0. On realoem, there only appears to be the left side arm. Is this because they are the same?

RH arm is 61 61 8 389 550.
It shows on my version of the ETK, but not on the one in your link. I've no idea why!
The fitted quantity of '1' shows that LH and RH are not the same.

FYI I just picked up part no. '550 but it was the wrong part. It was too long for the drivers side. I think I want part no. '552. So will be heading back to BMW :(

So you want me to see if my wiper arms have part numbers on?

Interesting! ETK wrong?
What's the last 7 digits of your VIN, to make sure I'm on the right page of the ETK?

According to this you need 61618389552, 550 is for left hand drive.

61 61 8 389 552.
Morale of the story: Always give your VIN when looking for part numbers.

Just been in to BMW and they said BMW AG are currently having a supply issue and can't even put the part on back order...

This guy has tons of Z3s for braking, he's down south as well, not far from me.
