Re-on the wipers
Is it just me, or does everyone have to re-on the wipers when you start the car?
If this is normal, I guess I understand the object. Suppose you stop with wipers on, and it's not raining when you re-start, the wipers won't drag across a dry windshield. BUT... if that's what BMW wants to accomplish, they should have the wipers return to off position when you key off. Right?

Something must not be set correctly on your wiper switch. Not sure what, but mine doesn't do that. Read the manual and see where the settings need to be. I would for you but I am nowhere near my car at the moment.

Hmmm.... you know, I actually NEVER turn my wipers on. I always use the "auto" button. I never thought about it until your post, but "auto" works very well and never leaves the wipers in "mid-wipe". (...which sounds a bit disgusting, actually...)

Some confusion here:
If you move your wipers into the auto-sense mode, this needs reinitialized each time you turn off the car and restart.
If you move your wipers into either the slow or fast mode (not auto-sense mode), and then shut the car off, you are saying they do not work and that you must reinitialize them?

I understand having to reactivate the "auto" feature (I guess).
To clarify, if the wipers are straight "on" (low or high, by clicking the wand up) and I turn off the ignition (mid-wipe  LOL!), the wiper stays in position on the windshield and will not move again when I re-start the car -- unless I re-on the wipers. This applies to the front and rear wiper.

Ah, okay. Then, "yes" I agree with you...the wipers should reset to their resting position. Kind of like when you turn the car off and forget to roll up a window. As long as no one has opened a door, the windows still have power. The same could be done for a wiper reset, it seems.
