Wow, that is awesome. Anyone has a video of it in action? Makes me wish the e53 has something like that.

BMW has done that for a while. My 545 has it.

That is pretty cool...it popping up..

yes...I was at a stop light, and I cleaned the windshield as I normally do, and I hear a electric motor, and then I see two big poofs of washer fluid coming from the front of the car.....They really are high pressure washers...
It activates every third time you clean the windshield, FYI.

The PDC sensors are circled in orange :thumbup:

Pretty much all new BMWs that come with that feature have this style headlight washer. E53 washers are old style. I have seen the video of pop-up washers somewhere...will have to find.

My E70 4.8 does not have them. Were they a separate option??

That's even worse than the every 5th time (with headlamps on) on the E46/E83!!! I wish BMW would provide a seperate control switch for it........it's a huge waste of washer fluid. And most of the time, it makes the front end dirty and all stained in blue (which is visible with a light-colored exterior like White).
