Wipers/defrost
Do the front wipers sit on an electric heating grid for defrosting? Or is it just heated nozzles for the fluid?
I just thought about this this morning because my truck window was frosted and I was muttering how much I hate scraping the window |

Hey Twix
Just heated nozzles as far as I know. They don't work too well IMHO, though I think the problems I found are with the pipes feeding the nozzles and not the nozzles themselves. Minus 4 in the UK over the winter one day (which is probably beach weather in Canada) and the nozzles/pipes stayed frozen for hours. J. |

You got that right! I was up in northern alberta for work, 2 days ago we got 7 inches of snow and minus 15C hahaha
Edit: Although, the type of fluid greatly helps. I hear BMW Europe uses different fluid than here in Canada |

Yeah might try better fluid this coming winter.
I think we got to about minus 15 up in Scotland this winter, but where I live near the south coast of the UK we managed minus 6. Having lived in Norway for a few years, I know what mega minus temperatures are like J. |
