feel wipers through the brake pedal?

335beeeemer · 11-02-2010, 07:12 PM

Has anyone else experienced this e93 pulse of windshield wipers in the brake pedal. Strange.

J02 335i · 11-02-2010, 07:14 PM

My E90 is the exact same, I think some new wipers will cure this issue, I'm sure mine are original and the rubber must be getting dry.

fdriller9 · 11-02-2010, 07:14 PM

What ? I think your case is just a coincidence....

SilverII · 11-02-2010, 07:16 PM

i feel it in the steering too.... must me the german requirement for it to work at autobarn speed

fdriller9 · 11-02-2010, 07:17 PM

I have never heard/experienced this....it is strange.

Buegie · 11-02-2010, 07:21 PM

yes, it's been mentioned before, sort of weird but not really a problem IMO

Normal.

335beeeemer · 11-02-2010, 07:23 PM

At least some of you have experienced this too. I don't know if I should bring it in for service on this ? The pulsing is quite strong in brakes. Not gas though

I wouldn't got that far, try some new wipers, it works. The rubber dries out and they jump across the windshield.

Taipei-TT · 11-02-2010, 07:32 PM

Mine did it too.
Absolutely unacceptable to me. Completely ridiculous!

BMW Taiwan service tried to pass it off as normal too, part of the safety and quality of the car. When I was done laughing I told them to fix it or they will hear more from me. Magically, the "normal" situation of wipers shaking the car and making a noise was resolved.

And mine had nothing to do with the wiper blades...they did it from day 1 in the rain and the car has only 4500km on it today.

BayMoWe335 · 11-02-2010, 07:32 PM

Part of it has to do with the brake drying system.

jopa489 · 11-02-2010, 08:27 PM

Seen a million threads on this, but have yet to feel it for myself.

Sure do feel it in my e92. Thought I was crazy

FLA 335 · 11-02-2010, 09:24 PM

It's the brakes drying while it's raining. U can turn it off by switching the lights away from the auto setting

your manual should explain it.

335beeeemer · 11-02-2010, 09:37 PM

The auto light s have something to so with it? Wow !

Similar concept to how moving the headlight knob away from auto prevents them from moving side-to-side around corners.

EVTee · 11-02-2010, 09:45 PM

I felt it from day 1 too. I'm not buying the brake drying excuse. I notice it during complete stops.

bsamoul · 11-03-2010, 03:45 AM

I don't know why you guys think it's so unacceptable. It's not THAT noticeable. Be glad you have wipers. And brakes.

335beeeemer · 11-03-2010, 08:04 AM

Actually its quite noticeable in my car. Not subtle at all. I drove a.2010 335 d. And didn't notice it much at all

Dr. G · 11-03-2010, 08:11 AM

I feel the pulse at a dead stop, just thought it was normal not a big deal

Yes. I get noticeable pulsations through the clutch and brake pedals when the wipers are on. This annoying feedback is most noticeable when both pedals are depressed (at a stop light) while the intermittent/rain-sensing wipers are operating.

I've never felt this wiper feedback in any of my other BMWs.

TheRox · 11-03-2010, 08:14 AM

You seem to feel a lot of things in a BMW...its probably just virbation travelling through solid structure of the car. Your hands and feet being sensitive to touch...they pick it up easy.
