My Ride: 535d Titanium Silver, Black Nasca Leather, Servotronic Steering, , De-Chrome, Bi-Xenons including Headlight Washer Jets, adaptive headlights, Advanced A/C, Auto Dim Interior & Exterior Mirrors, Electric Folding Mirrors, Front Centre Sliding Armrest, extended lights package
my 535d auto wipers are slow to react i.e. very often i am forced to wipe the screen as i feel they should be already on.
The sensitivity switch is set to the most sensitive setting.
Does anyone else experience this?
Can the dealer adjust the sensitivity same as lighting circuit?
or does it require a software update?
What do you think? thank you

With very light rain and in the dark I have the same issue.. I just tap it down extra to give me some visibility.. The sensitivity knob doesn't work for me. I don't notice a difference between the settings..

Mine are absolutely fine and always seem to work at the correct speed. If anything they are a little too sensitive and sometimes drag the wipers across the screen when there are only a few drops of water in the sensor area.
Have you tried cleaning the screen around your sensor with a piece of newspaper to get rid of surface grease that accumulates on the glass? Newsprint is great for cleaning glass.

Maybe it works better in a climate where it's rains 90% of the time

[/quote]Yep, cars over there come with the option of a periscope and flotation devices.
I think my own starts to wipe at the mention of a weather report. It's unfortunate that the auto feature replaced the intermittent function (which I prefer) rather than being in addition to it.
