Hi.

Yet another problem with my E61 (gotta love these cars )

My wipers don't work properly. When i use them, starts nice, BUT then it stop working. Wipers stops sometimes in middle of the windshield, and sometime don't ....do you get the picture....

Okay. Second try. And same thing....wipes wipes ...stops...no specific place, just stops AND the wiper switch dies....so i need to turn off power (nothing else helps). Then another go....and same...WTF

So anyone? Do i need to buy a new wiper switch or?

I would guess, yes you need a new switch - a friend of mine had a similar problem with his old Alfa and it turned out to be the contact surfaces inside the lever that was worn out. bearing in mind that your car is fairly new, it's still the only thing I can think of...
