your unit may need recharged your vac lines may be bad going to crntrol head the static could be a bad ground at blower

The self-parking mechanism in the wiper motor has failed. The wiper motor will need to be replaced, a fairly expensive and labour intensive job on the X5 (what isn't on that model?)

good day, it maybe a bad electrical problem. you may try to check on the fuses and replace it if busted. hope this helps, have a nice day

It is on the drivers side on the chassis.

yes you can change it yourself. Make sure you de-pressurize the system before removing (undo the gas cap).

Also...order the filter from bavarian auto or one of the online stores. The one you need is with the pressure regulator.

If you go to autozone, etc. they will sell you the worng filter.

Remove arm(s), put wiper motor in park,(shut off) then re-install arm at base of windshield where they were before,when shut off.(in park position.)

Unfortunately, you have to have the service reset tool. Dealers and BMW mechanics have this tool, but i don't know whether they reset for free. i guess it depends on who you take it to.

check start switch.

no filter, sounds like the steering rack is worn out and need to be rebuilt.
