2 Answers
To lift the wiper blades on a BMW 3 Series, follow these steps: Press the brake pedal and turn on the ignition, then turn it off. Immediately after, hold the wiper lever upward for 5 seconds. Wiper blades, also known as windshield wipers, are devices used to remove rain and dust from the vehicle's windshield, improving driver visibility and enhancing road safety. The BMW 3 Series is a new generation of sedan products from BMW Group, with body dimensions of 4719mm in length, 1824mm in width, and 1459mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2851mm. In terms of suspension, the front suspension features a double-joint spring strut front axle, while the rear suspension utilizes a multi-link independent suspension.
My old BMW 3 Series has been with me for many years, and the procedure to lift the wipers is quite simple, but you need to be careful not to damage the motor. The method is: after turning off the engine, don't rush to get out of the car. First, turn the key to the ignition position without starting the engine, wait about 2-3 seconds, then turn it off. Quickly pull the wiper control lever down once, and the wipers will automatically stop in the middle of the windshield, allowing you to manually lift them for inspection or replacement. Remember to do this in winter or when washing the car to prevent the wiper blades from freezing or scratching the glass. Also, regularly check the rubber strips for wear and replace the blades in time to avoid damage—it saves money and hassle. When I was younger, I didn’t know this trick and accidentally damaged them. Now, I often remind my friends to develop this habit—safe driving starts with the details.
