I know what you mean, but I actually don't find that the LHD wipers cause me any problems. The triangle that is un-wiped isn't a part of the windscreen that I need to look through. Maybe I just got used to them like this since I drove two E39s for the last 7 years.
I still find the indicator stalk operation annoying though... and there are a few other things I would like to see sorted out before any changes to the wipers, though I realise other people may have different opinions.
I replaced the wiper rubbers recently, and struggled for a while because the instructions were wrong for RHD cars - the drivers side wiper simply didn't fit. Then I remembered a posting on this forum that said that all BMW instructions assume a LHD car, and swapped the wipers round and they fit!

If they're going to phase in driving on the right starting with HGV first aren't we going to have a few head on collisions!

I have also posted before about the RHD wipers. Have always driven 3 series cars all with the right direction for wipers. Previous E39 had the problem but the E60 has a bigger triangle of dirt!! BMW should sort it. Who do we complain to?
