feeling the windshield wipers strokes on the clutch pedal.
Is anyone else experiencing this? it's rain season here in FL and everytime I turn my windshield wipers on I feel every stroke on the clutch, sometimes it's really annoying. Considering it's such an expensive car, I always think back to all the previous cars I've owned and don't recall anything like this happening.

I'm not stepping on it long, but everytime I do, I fell it and it's kind of disturbing to have such an awesome car with such a weird problem.

I get what you're saying. The OEM wipers BMW uses are very loud. I've complained to my dealer, they replaced it under free maintenace at every oil change, but the new ones are just as loud.

I can feel it now and could feel it on my 328i as well. It's some kind of E9x design patina.

Occasionally, when the blade goes through the cycle and is going back into the park position, I hear a thud sound. Strange thing is that it doesnt happen all the time. But its pretty loud when it does happen. No consistencies on occurrences either, I.e, over 60mph, stop light, ect...

You don't feel this in less expensive cars because it's not a feature on them. BMW actually engineered many features in our cars that I've noticed that I used to think were out of cheapness and make it look or feel cheaper but are actually done for a reason that improves the car in some way. Almost nothing on these cars is sacrificed for cheapness. |
