{"product_id":"bmw-windshield-washer-hose-3","title":"Original BMW Windshield Washer Reservoir Hose for E39 BMW 525i, 528i, 530i, 540i, and M5 (1997–2003)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWasher fluid travels from the reservoir to the hood nozzles through this Original BMW windshield washer reservoir hose, part number 61-66-8-361-041, built for the E39 BMW 525i, 528i, 530i, 540i, and M5 from 1997 to 2003. On any washer system, the pump at the reservoir pushes fluid through lines like this one to the spray jets. BMW names it the reservoir hose, gives a weight of 13 g (0.46 oz), and shows production starting in September 1995. With age this line turns brittle and begins to leak, losing washer fluid instead of delivering it to the nozzles. It is made in Germany and sold as a single piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBMW applies this single hose number across the E39 range, from the M52 and M54 six-cylinder cars to the M62 V8 in the 540i and the S62 engine in the M5. Because the number is shared across those engines, there is no version to choose between for the models covered here. BMW shows no replacement number for it, and the same hose has stayed in production since September 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW (Original BMW Parts)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 61-66-8-361-041\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: Reservoir hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: carries washer fluid between the reservoir and the hood nozzles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChassis: E39 5 Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 13 g (0.46 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: September 1995\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as: single piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of manufacture: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens to the factory hose over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt becomes brittle and tends to leak washer fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the same hose fit both the 540i and the M5?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
