All the wiring diagrams show 4 wire, but I know it's got 5, It has 2 speed motor, so you have 3 wires for that, ground, high & low wires, or common 12 V & high & low ground return. It also has a switch to cut off the wiper motor when it returns to rest position, that is internally wired into the motor somehow. Use a DVM & unplug the harness to the motor, measure for continuity to ground, one of the 5 wires, black likely is ground, I think Brown is 12 V.

Click on/enlarge my pic. At the top under 1802 is the Wiper Motor showing all 5 wires. Just follow them along.

...black likely is ground, I think Brown is 12 V.

NO. ALL brown wires on BMWs are ground.

The rest can be seen on the Wiring diagram.

ok I have it figured out except how the park works. You are correct that brown is the ground.

just wondering if anyone can explain how the motor parks itself.

the 2 wires I have yet to figure out are the Brown/red stripe and black. I think these have to operate the park, but how?
