E91 Headwasher nozzle gone AWOL - what part do I need?

[mw1987]

Hi all,

the headlight washer cover wasn't sitting flush and on a recent drive must have flew off. I thought I would just need a new cover to replace it but I don't think that's the case and I'm not sure what part I need or if I need to replace the whole pump.

I've got the best picture I can of what's left by pulling it outwards with a pair of pliers.


I can only find the whole pump online but it looks like I'm just missing the bit circled in red below?


Does anyone know if that section can be ordered and just pushed on to what is left? Or is this a bumper off job to replace the whole thing.

For reference here is the intact one if it helps


To be honest I wish they didn't both with these headlight washers.

Maybe someone yanked it out? as it looks like half is missing

When I got my Z4 one of the headlamp washers was leaking.

They come as a complete unit but I managed to track down a used one, although I needed to buy a new cover from BMW.

My Indy took out the front wheel-arch liner to swap it rather than remove the whole bumper.

It's not unknown for the jet to fly out like yours seems to have done, which is why once mine was all back together I pulled out the fuse for the headlamp washers! Even with B-Xenons it doesn't need washers for the MOT if it was registered before September 2009.

You need a new jet and cover. No need to remove bumper. Access via wheel arch.

What model and what colour is it? I may have a spare cover.

Mine never consistently retracted so I pulled the fuse on them.
