E39 Rain sensor
Discussion
For it to work it has to be switched on every journey as it automatically switches off when ignition is turned off, so you need to turn the wiper stalk to off then back to the first intermittent position.
If you really want just intermittent function then disconect the rain sensor by the mirror and the system will default to intermittent function.

Mine used to work perfectly on my 530D until one day.....
In the outside lane of the motorway overtaking a lorry when it was hammering down. Wipers just stopped dead. No amount of fiddling with the stalk (oo-eer) would start them again. Managed to get to the hard shoulder (driving by wing mirrors onyl at this point) turned the engine off and back on and they started working again. Never quite trusted them after that though.
