My Ride: 2004 520i, mystic blue, steptronic, beige leather, pdc, bluetooth, rain sensor, BMW sport kit fitted, 18" 166 rep BMW rims , de-badged, cherished reg. chrome grill,
When I bought my car it was a demo saw the slots in the bumper for the headlight washers so I assumed i had them after driving it for a while and never having seen them work I asked the dealer to fix them and guess what I'm now told I never had them that the slots are dummy's, I can't find the original bill of sale to check the spec has anyone any idea if they were part of a package fitted or an extra on they're own so I can complain to the salesman
Thanks
Thanks

They area an optional extra. All bumpers have the cut out and blanking plate, this does not mean that the washers are there. They also come as part of the xenon headlight pack.
I think you can get a reto fit.

In US, it comes with Cold Weather Package. Mine does not have CWP, and my bumper still have those cut-outs and no jet washers. I've heard that it's retrofitable, but plan for at least two hours installation cost.

I have the xenon package, and they are not included. It's definately the cold weather package... I didn't realize it was retrofittable.

yep, they work every 4th time (more or less) and just run by themselves when you activate the regular washers. I have them with the US cold weather package, but they also spray quite a lot on the hood which I find annoying....

My Ride: 2006 BMW M5, Silverstone with black extended leather, brushed aluminium trim, Nav Pro, Logic 7, PDC, 35 % tint.
In Canada they came standard with my 545, which also has directional dual xenons, which is also standard.
