Well, I am not sure that I'd call this a "problem." That is the way the car is designed. The wipers "hide" under the hood while not in use -- a common approach with some manufacturers.

Did you try turning on the wipers for just a second and stop them while they're at the top?

Nope, it's normal.

It's meant to improve "aerodynamic", according to BMW.
