How inconsiderate! Don't you realize that they can distract and/or hypnotize oncoming drivers? Sure, using your wipers all the time may have been cool back in the '20s and '30s when few cars had them installed but now, it looks like all you're trying to do is say, "Look at me, I have windshield wipers! I'm cooler than you!!" (Also, running them on high is just bragging even more, "My wipers are faster than your wipers!" gets a bit old after a while...)

It wouldn't be illegal to use wipers when it's not raining in Kenya if there wasn't some truth to the problems this misuse can cause...

BMW enthusiast are just really into their cars. If you want to be more conservative, buy a Mercedes. "Look at me"? Thats the reason why we buy this fine peace of machinery. BMW owners are suppose to be a little louder. Thats why we have meets more than the Mercedes Guys. Look at me man. Lol.

I prefer to sit in the boot while driving. That is cool.

Hmmm, I wonder if Iceman still has the same warm and fuzzy feelings for using those awesome fog lights to add visual spice on a clear night (or day)?
