Washer Jet Walkabout Warning

F31-340i · 01-14-2010, 01:26 PM

Last few freezing days I'd noticed that one of the headlamp washer jets was poking proud of the bumper. It seemed to return to normal on thawing, so thought nothing of it when it happened again.

I should probably have looked closer as it seems the last time it happened it must have worked loose as it now seems to have fallen out altogether! Ooops.

Anyone know how much this is going to cost (noting the cover is sprayed silver, though I assume these come pre-painted in factory colours)?

Have a search on here ajd, it is a common problem on the E9x range

I'm afraid they don't come pre-painted. The cover is about £27 plus painting. The rest I'm not sure about.

I took mine off before they fell off. Getting the second one fixed tomorrow.

The cover is about less than £10 (good luck finding one), if you've lost the nozzel that's around £35

saw on the HR Owen BMW site the other day that they supply them for 45 quid. See this link - I think, and stand to be corrected, that the covers are supplied sprayed to the colour you wish. But I could be talking bollocks.....

Can't you paint it yourself? Halfords will probably do Reflex Silver
