| A wiper motor is not too bad to do, are you sure the motor is at fault? Relays have a habbit of playing up on e39's. |

In one word Nikasil! Read http://www.bmwcarclubforum.co.uk/nikasil.htm - this But at your mileage, if it was a problem it would have happened by now so I reckon it is nothing to worry about in your car. Welcome to the Forum. For future reference you would be better to post this type of post on the 5 Series Technical Forum. My wipers have a habit of stopping mid motorway and no movement of the wiper switch will bring them back to life. The only way to get them to work again is to switch off the engine and ignition and re-start the sodding thing! Andrew ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!
