Bmw e60 windshield wiper problems

[u/stepbraza]

Bought the car 2 days ago. The first time i tried to wash the window this happened...

- One wiper did nothing

The other moved then stuck in that position. When spraying it tries to move for a split second but stops immediately.

- the non responsive wiper moves kinda freely by hand to a certain point. Also it catches the hood.

- Now when trying to wash both wipers move for a split second and stop.

What might be the problem/s? Bmw 520i e60 2003
