Move the wiper stalk towards you. There are three settings. If you pull it towards you completely it does a wash and a wipe. Middle is off and away from you is on.

BY the way, dont lose the back wiper, it will cost you nearly 30 USD. Yeah, because its BMW, other compatible wipers are like 10 USD. Not even in this you save yourself lol...

Rear wiper arc
I just got my new X1 and noticed that the rear windshield wiper only goes 3/4 of the total 180 degree arc. When I asked the sales rep, he said that it is normal and that all X-series rear wipers are made to only go part of the way.
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. |

The demisting is especially odd when you consider there are wires all over the window, so it LOOKS like it should do the whole thing. No idea what the other wires are for - I assume possibly part of the aerial system.

Er... Yes, I know - as per my post, the thing is there are wires where the defroster/demister does not work - so whilst they are there, they don't do anything - hence my wondering if they are part of the aerial system instead.

A few years ago they were used as part of the diversity antenna on other cars. So maybe leftovers from that era as cost-cutting continues.
