Hi all, Just happened to look under my 97 328 today and saw that the left front strut is apparently losing much of its precious bodily fluid. Pulled the wheel and confirmed. My question is.... on the Bilstein website they do a bang up job of selling you on the monotube shock technology as being...

Is it just me or is there a way to adjust the interval between wipes when the wipers are set to the intermittent setting? If it is un-adjustable, I think it was a serious oversight for a car of this class. Your thoughts? TIA
