To ME, having no rear wiper has more advantages. Cars that need to have it always look dirty in the back (unless they are squeeky clean) and you end up having one small round circle through which you can see clearly. Overall the visibility is much better then it seems and one gets used to it (with a rear/top view camera being a mandatory option).
Perhaps BMW is reading the forums as the five seats are now an option. |

Imagine a M6 with rear wipers. Why does it need a rear wiper just because the car sits a bit higher then a regular sedan? It's got about the same typical slope as a typical sedan. Just saying

I'm not disputing the fact that the rear window stays dry whilst driving my problem comes first thing in the morning when the car has been standing on the drive all night and is covered in condensation as I don't intend to drive if I can't see out of the rear window.

Turn your car on... let it warm up with the rear defroster on. When you come back out if there is still condensation on the rear window keep a towel in your trunk (or boot as you folks call it) to wipe it down. I wish there was a contraption to clean the snow off my entire car in the winter, but there isn't. My only choice is to clean it myself or move somewhere it isn't a problem.

I assume that this is a country specific joke as it's completely lost on me
That's all well and good but as I've already said, I can't reach all of the rear window to wipe it without leaning on a wet car and getting my clothes all wet too |

If you strapped seven pygmies to the roof to wipe down the rear window with their shirt sleeves whenever needed, that would be a Rube Goldberg. |

You resurrected a 4 year old thread for that?
