[QUOTE="danc, post: 7059, member: 2441"] Hi everyone,Just sharing another one of my observation and see if anyone noticed the same about the auto rain sensor on the E90. First I asked a service advisor from AB about the sensitivity control on the wiper stalk and can you believe this...he said that it has no effect?? Just meant for wipers with intermittent speed :( .So even after reading the manual which doesn't tell much I just did my own comparison and here are my obervations.It seems to be based upon amount of rain drops as well as external light. I currently set it at min setting (all the way down) and it seems to work fine and can detect the right speed but once it's dark ie. at night and no street light I need to increase the sensitivity to maintain the 'right' speed for my wipers according to rain fall. Anyone else noticed this?One tip for sure is to keep your windscreen very clean esp at the rain sensor portion of the glass to ensure the rain sensors work properly.Cheers and happy Motoring!
