Dude! That did it! I didn't even think to check the fuse. I guess I always just assume failure of a part and don't even check the fuse. I was just about to start ripping apart the air suspension...

I probably should have been more specific in my DIY. On the back of the washer fluid tank, there 2 pumps. Looking at your engine bay from the front of the car, the one on the right is for the front...

Without pics, here goes:
No tools required. No need to remove the washer fluid tank. My car is a 3.0 so I'm thinking the 4.4 has the same washer tank and in the same spot. The tank is big and white...

Looks kind of ghetto. The leather doesn't match. Doesn't look professionally designed. Doesn't really belong in a BMW. Parts of it look crooked--maybe that's just the picture. Need to find or make a...

Hi Tom,

I have a 2001 X5 with Nav and DSP (coax cable). I just upgraded the head unit from the 4:3 screen to the 16:9 screen. Which kit will work for me?
