I have the same want with regards to the wipers.
With my previous car (mk3 Skoda Octavia vRS) the wipers when on auto were actually on the intermittent setting (physical switches rather than bmws soft switches) and would happily work as long as the ignition was on - neutral or not.
In a car wash you would need to turn the wipers off by moving the wiper "lever" from I to 0. Incidentally intermittent wipe was available by turning off auto wipers from the infotainment and then the sensitivity switch was the intermittent speed instead.
I believe this is the same setup as all MQB cars (golf, Octavia,a3 etc). I have the same issue with car washes as well.
