Original BMW Windshield Washer Nozzle for BMW E60 and E61 5 Series and M5 (2004–2010)

Built for the E60 and E61 5 Series, this Original BMW windshield washer nozzle sprays washer fluid across the windshield of 2004–2010 525i through 550i models and the M5. BMW introduced this version in November 2007 to replace part number 61-66-7-132-969. BMW marks the change as retroactively interchangeable, so the newer nozzle also fits earlier cars. It is sold individually and made in Germany. A washer nozzle meters fluid from the washer pump into a set spray pattern on the glass.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

Because the newer number supersedes the earlier one, an older E60 that left the factory with 61-66-7-132-969 can use this nozzle. BMW applies it across the pre-facelift and facelift E60 sedans and the E61 Touring, from the six-cylinder 525i and 530i to the V8 545i and 550i and the V10 M5. A blocked or damaged nozzle is the usual reason for replacement. Dirt, debris, or wax buildup can clog the outlet and weaken the spray, and a knock can push the nozzle out of alignment so that fluid misses the glass.

Common Questions

What are the signs of a failing washer nozzle?
The most common signs are no fluid spraying, a weak or uneven stream from a partial clog, or spray that misses the windshield because the nozzle was knocked out of position.

Will this replace the earlier nozzle on my 2005 525i?
Yes. It supersedes 61-66-7-132-969, and BMW marks the two as retroactively interchangeable.

Clear spray across the glass makes a real difference in bad weather.
