Windshield washer

I like the spray on the windshield. It sprays on my wind shield, not on other cars, too.

Is it me or we get another spray on the headlights, while washing our windshield?!!?

Fine for me, but stepped down of the car (for refueling, doh) and checked the headlights (after spraying). The headlights still have some crap on them. .At that point I realized that sprayin' ain't nothing without brushin'. Mostly if crap is sticky as adhesive left over after peeling a sticker.

I had to use some paper towel from the pump dispenser to clean it up. .

PS: Why BMW (or other major brands) dropped the idea to provide headlights with wipers?! They get stolen that often? They hamper the aerodynamics?

well,i think wipers are ugly and old solution..

it reminds me on mercedes E 124!

i dont have any problems to keep my head lights clean.

while you sprey your windsheild after 5 times you get one sprey for headlights...it is sometimes annoying for me,because hood is full of cleaning liquid.

Headlite wipers

I think hdlite wipers are necessary for off road or rally cars only. Think they are not aerodynamically efficient, & increases Cd.
