This only affects RHD countries .....but PLEASE BMW when you convert the i3 to RHD PLEASE change the order in which the windscreen wipers clear the screen.

The reason you have the left wiper going up first on LHD cars is because you know that way round the drivers view is always kept clear..... whereas with RHD if you leave it the same the drivers view ALWAYS has an arc of water droplets in front of them.
IF Honda can be bothered to swap the sweep pattern round surely you can too.
The last BMW I bought was a pre this generation 5 Series and its wipers were set up for LHD on all RHD cars .... it drove me nuts. I won’t say it was the only reason I've not bought a BMW since but it certainly contributed. Having spent well over £40K ($60K) on car to find every time it rained (and it rains a lot here) that BMW couldn't be bothered to re engineer the wipers really rankled ..... plus there was always a nagging doubt what else hadn't been converted properly for RHD as well.

Rant over ............
