Original BMW Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir for BMW 128i, 135i, 135is, and E90 3 Series (2006–2013)

The Original BMW windshield washer fluid reservoir 61-66-7-238-669, which BMW calls the windshield cleaning container, holds the washer fluid that the pump sends to the windshield nozzles on the BMW 128i, 135i, 135is, and E90 3 Series (2006–2013). It is a plastic tank mounted under the hood, connected to the washer pump and nozzles by tubing. The reservoir weighs 770 g (1.7 lb) and is made in Germany. The washer pump is not included. Cracks or punctures in the tank let fluid escape, so a reservoir that runs dry soon after a refill is the usual sign it needs replacing.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW introduced this number in July 2008 to replace 61-66-7-124-232, and marks the change as exchangeable retrospectively, so it is approved for earlier cars that left the factory with the older tank, including the 2006 and 2007 3 Series. The same reservoir also cross-references to 61-66-0-411-999. BMW shows it on the E82 and E88 1 Series and on the E90 3 Series before and after the facelift, with N51, N52, N54, N55, and M57N2 diesel engines in the covered models. It is sold as a single tank.

Common Questions

Does the reservoir come with the washer pump?
No, the washer pump is not included.

How do I know my reservoir is leaking?
Low or empty fluid levels soon after refilling, or a tank that needs topping up more often than usual, point to a crack or puncture in the reservoir or its lines.

Will it fit my 2007 328i built before July 2008?
BMW marks the replacement of 61-66-7-124-232 as exchangeable retrospectively, so it is approved for earlier covered models.
