To replace the windshield washer fluid reservoir on a BMW 3 Series, open the hood and locate the reservoir on the left side of the engine compartment. You will see the mounting bolts that need to be removed so the reservoir can be taken out. Once all the bolts are loosened, disconnect the pump at the bottom of the reservoir and completely pull it out. At this point, connect the pump to the new reservoir and insert it into its housing, securing it with the appropriate bolts.
