Press and hold in for 2-3 seconds. Some things are worth waiting for. It's not like the "FIRE" button on your X-Box.

I wonder if the BMW FM explains that feature on a more understandable, simple English as we call it at work, level.

Actually, every car I've purchased in the last twenty years that had stalk mounted wiper controls (foreign and domestic) has the push and hold to spray feature. I would be surprised if the BMW doesn't.

Good you're taking our humor in the right way.

It's all good, since you've come over from the "dark" side. (Or at least partly...)

Welcome aboard.

Maybe there is no washer fluid? Do you hear a pumping noise? Pushing the stalk will turn on the wipers but there has to be fluid to spray.
Just a thought. Hope this helps.

Pushing in to the first stop just swipes the wiper once. Push harder past the first stop to the second stop and the fluid squirts.
