I filled up my windscreen washer and noticed fluid coming out a pipe further up the car on the right hand side, is this an overflow pipe or should it be connected up somewhere ?

yes its an overflow and used to clear the filter in the water tank if it blocks.
mine blocks a few months ago so they blew into it with a compressor and filled it with water to clear out the dirty water and it worked.
hope that helps.

Overflow doesn't exist on 2008 535i so oddly must be engine or year specific.

Hmmm... I saw that tube while washing my '08 550 over the weekend and wondered what it was for. I guess it's on 550's as well then.
