The pump is a common leak point on all BMW's. I would get a new washer pump and grommet (filter), and it would be a 5 minute or less DIY repair as it is VERY simple to replace.

I had the same problem, dealership asked $250 for new resv tank, came home, start looking around, apparantly I had some thing stuck in one of the 2 motors, the motor to the rear was working hard but since the clog it kept pushing out of the small hose, all i did was took the motors out, cleaned, tighten it up anf voila, it is all set, still have the same washer fluid and I am $250 richer.

Check to see if it is just the grommet. I have had to, and now have to again, replace a grommet, pump may be fine.

mine was just elbow fitting
I had same problem. Bought the $35 washer pump and the fluid
leaked out again. Then just fooling around I saw that the elbow fitting was bad. Took it off and just cut tip of hose off, reconnected it and fixed! Anybody want to buy a new washer pump?? |
