It seems like every time I drive my E60 I get dead bug guts on my window . I have had many cars and don't remember EVER having this much dead bugs... And it's driving me nuts I try using my window washer and wipers to clean it off while driving and it doesn't help. I get a car wash then BANG dead bug gutts again... Is there something I can put on the window to coat it or something so that when I use reg. wipers it will come right off insted of having that white gutt streak on my window till I wash it by hand or car wash????

I thought it was just because we had a really wet winter out here in CA. I've got 'em too. Much more than my 528i ever did. It must be that the body design causes the airflow to route them right to the windshield for a good smashing.

The E60 is a far more interesting shape inside and out than the E39 was. I think the bugs just want to take a look inside but somehow forget the cars moving.

I think it's just sheer speed!
The white stuff is not splattered insects; that's at the end of the white stuff. It's the last-ditch attempt at jet propulsion by them as they realise that they're not going to make it

I get'em all the time, but only on wide open stretches of road, in the country-side.

I used Rejex on my windows, so they do wipe right off easily.
