I am facing the problem with the new m5 rep front bumper that the cover for the headlight washer is a dummy, it doesnt open/close.
when i press the wipers, the headlight washer pops out and pushes the cover off and now ive lost it.
i tried fitting the original one on from my standard bumper but the bracket/hinge is completely different.
ive ordered a new dummy cover but i might lose it again from the thing trying to pop out, i am willing to live with it disabled even with an error message.
hope someone here knows how to turn it off, thanks!

pull the fuse should do the trick.

I also believe you can disconnect the fluid line, but that would require some minor surgery to perform.

fuse diagram should be in the emergency kit attached to the trunk lid.
