e34 Wiper Intermittant setting

[SuperCharger]

Just wondering how many of you guys knew this... Did you know you can choose the length of the pause between wipes on intermittant mode on your wipers? I read it on another forum , and its in the manual as well but who reads the "how to work the wipers" bit. To choose the intermittant pause length : 1) Push wiper lever up to intermittant and immediately back down to off 2) Wait desired length of pause 3) Push lever back onto intermittant. I tested it and it works for me. Check it out.. And if any of you have a tip to share, please do. Cheers..

Oh this is cool. Haven't noticed it before. This is actually stated in the user manual when I look it up. "Max interval is 20sec, twice as long when the car is standing still." I'll have to try this...

Lesson no. 1: Always read and understand the instruction manual....

I always say this to my young engineers at work...

there's another strange thing i noticed about my e34 - when the wiper is on speed 2 (where speed 1 is intermittent), and when i come to a stop, it reverts to an intermittment mode! once i get moving again, it resumes to speed 2.

I believe it's a standard feature on all E34 and other models perhaps.. It's saving its energy to take off after the standstill..hahaha..just kidding..

This is another great invention from BMW la..., its to prevent the wiper from wiping stupidly while your car is at standstill (signal from speed sensor), and infact I love & proud of this feature in my car..., I believe is this feature given birth to "Rain Sensor" in later models...hehe.
