Re: Windscreen Wipers rubbing on bonnet.

Had similar problem couple of years back, scratched the paint off the bonnet. The cause was that the wiper arm was slightly bent. Took it off the car, bent it carefully in a vice and it did the trick.

Re: Driver side (forward & back) electric seat motor failure

Hi. I had the exact problem on both seats. I took the motors off the seats and removed the housing cover, gave them a squirt of wd40 and gave the brushes a clean with emery cloth and hey presto, two working seats. Not difficult to do just time and patience.

Hi. I had the same problem when I bought my z. After being told by my local BMW dealer that it could cost hundreds I decided to give it a go myself. I took the motors off and then opened the case gave a spray of wd40 gave the bushes a nudge and hey presto the motors work like a charm.
