Automatic Windshield Wipers- Frustrating!
Now that it's winter the wipers are essential!
This experience comes from our 2011 1M and now the 2014 M235i.
So we set the auto wipers on the RH stalk to "on"; they sweep (good); then we wait for them to sweep again as the water builds up on the windscreen but - no sweep- and then after visibility is very compromised they sweep again. Adjusting the wheel on the stock seems to make no difference to the sensitivity of the wipers to do their job. These wipers, on auto, seem to have a mind of their own!
Other vehicles (Toyota Tacoma) have simpler systems - wipers on and turn wheel on stalk to get 4 different timings of the sweep (from slow to fast). BMW wipers, on auto, are too smart for their own good and seem useless - even dangerous (obscured visibility). VERY FRUSTRATING!
What are your experiences with these wipers on our cars?
Thanks - pete
