I feel my wipers on my brake pedal!

aph335i · 09-19-2012, 11:39 AM

It was storming yesterday so I had my windshield wipers on. When the wiper hits it limit as it sweeps to the left, I fee a pulse in the clutch and brake pedal. It's pretty annoying. Does anyone else have this? Or have suggestions?

The car lightly taps the brakes every time the wipers sweep to clean the rotors of water which makes you feel a vibration in the brake and clutch. This is a high end feature found on luxury cars which BMW spent a lot of time and money developing and implementing.

+1. My M3 hasn't seen much rain since I got it so I never noticed this.

Holy crap thats quite the feature and something they should advertise for sure! But.. it is slightly annoying as well. Especially in a storm when your wipers are on full blast and you just feel constant pulsating in your brake

PS- I did not mean to put this in M3 forum, I am a 335i owner. But glad its the same anyways

I just updated my ECU with the latest software and it now double-taps the brake - somehow its supposed to be even more effective!

make sure you all ask for that at the next service
