I've got the same problem and the car is booked in for thursday so i'll let you know the outcome. Luckily enough my 10 year old BMW with 138,000 miles on the clock is still going strong, including working wipers, so at least I am able to get about . . . . . FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green

For an emergency apply some of that Rain X stuff on the screen, you dont need wipers then on the move, at least it will get you home, although if its not raining you may have to stop and clean the filth off occassionally by hand.

Sounds like worn brushes.
I had the same thing happen on a Vauxhall.
Stripped the motor down and got new brushes from an electrical shop for a quid. Had to file 'em down a bit to fit the holder. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

As long as it's not snowing!

Pedro's right! Last winter in Belgium in thick snow, the local BMWs with snow tyres were having no problem at all. (Neither was I, of course!)

You can easily reconfigure to key fob back to the other setting by:

SINGLE/MULTI-POINT ENTRY
When you press the unlock button, your vehicle will unlock in one of two ways:
1. Single Point Entry: Unlocks the driver'sdoor and fuel filler flap only. A secondpress is required to unlock the remaining
doors and the tailgate.
2. Multi Point Entry: Unlocks all doors, fuelfiller flap and the tailgate on the first press.

Single point entry can be disabled on individual remote controls by unlocking the vehicle then simultaneously pressing and holding the lock and unlock buttons for 3 seconds. The vehicle will lock and then unlock and the hazard warning lights will flash twice to confirm the change. You can now unlock all doors with a single press. Repeating the procedure will re-enable Single point entry.
