New Member - one question

Just purchase a 2103 Roadster hardtop. Love it. Got a question though...

Wiper blades... when I am at a stop light intermittent wiping works. Minute I start moving goes into continuous mode until I stop again. Normal? seems weird....

Certified Used so easy fix if busted.

Welcome! A hardtop Roadster is a Coupe in MINI-speak, but still a great car. I think your wiper behaviour is normal if you have the sensor wipers. You can tell if you have the big black box near the rear view mirror. You can also put your VIN number in at http://bimmer.work and it will list all the options your car was built with.

Its normal at stop when you have the wipers on the first wiper setting. Its speed sensitive at stop and go. My R56 was like that.

Intermittent is enabled by pushing the button at the end of the wiper stalk.

What you are seeing is "normal" mode behavior.
