Is this true?

I can't find any documentation explaining this and honestly it looks just a tad weird to have only part of the back windshield cleaned.
Agree, one of the few gripes I have with the X1. Seems a bad design. Also the rear demister is an arc only covering about 50% of the window. Even my Mini has edge to edge demisting.
