This has been bugging me for a while. The user manual says that the rear wiper speed can be adjusted, but no matter what I do, it always swipes every 12 seconds. Do I miss something or is it controlled by an ECU that’s defective? |

I take it you have tried the method of push the stalk forward and immediately pull back again then at your preferred interval push forward and leave it there ? 2008 MY Supercharged

"The delay between wipes can be set by the driver. Turn the wiper on, then off - leave the wiper off for the desired delay period (0 - 30 seconds), then turn the wiper back on. If the switch is turned back on immediately, the wiper will operate continuously. The default delay is 10.5 seconds. If the starter switch is turned off, or the wiper switch is turned off for longer than 10 seconds, the delay returns to the default setting." |

The front intermittent on my 1988 735i was exactly the same, so I'd imagine it's something BMW have used for some time.

If your rear wiper is on and you select reverse it goes to continuous wipe though. |

I normally don't have my rear wiper activated, as it were. I just tend to flick it on once when I need it, so the "old" way of working used to be good for me.

Well, after a visit to the dealer (steering angle sensor replacement) and the initialisation that was performed, the rear wiper started working normally too! |
