Question about auto wipers
Has anyone had a problem when left in auto mode and upon re-starting the car after siting overnight or longer with the wipers sweeping exactly 1 time and stopping on a completely dry windshield. My car is alway parked in a garage. I'm concerned it may scratch the windshield eventually if it's too gritty. Someone know the remedy? TIA.

Alright wise guys lol. My question was in regards to is this normal. It wouldn't be unreasonable to think by leaving it in auto all the time that it only wipes when water is detected as to not scratch your windshield on a dry wipe. So let me modify my question to is this normal?

Thanks for the response. It’s the original windshield so either it’s the camera you mentioned or possibly “auto wipers” to BMW is intermittent (explaining why it’s swipes 1 time on startup even when dry just like it would when you first turn it on which to me would be a oversight in software programming) meant to be turned off every time before you turn off the car unlike auto headlights which I just leave in auto perpetually. I asked the question because I’m taking the car in for service and was wondering if it’s normal or something I should have them take a look at.
