How to Remove the Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir from a BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Windshield wipers

Disconnect and lift the hood, then locate the opening of the washer fluid reservoir. To proceed with the removal, have the tools shown in the video ready. Now remove the rivets securing the edge of the bumper to the area where the side mirror is located. Next, remove the bolts securing the upper inner cover of the fender; there is also a bolt at the lower edge of your vehicle. This will allow you to extract the relevant parts to access the back of the fender where the reservoir to be replaced is located. Now remove the water circulation hoses, and by removing the bolts that hold it, you can then remove it completely.
