Washer jet upgrade - fan pattern jets

The standard two-hole washer jets on the L322 are a PITA to adjust.

My guess was that with the BMW engineering history of the L322, there was a good chance a BMW fan-pattern heated jet would fit, and a bit of eBay picture surfing suggested that E60/61 or E63/64 jets would be a good place to start.

So, since I happen to have an E64 645Ci lying around, I thought I'd try it by swapping the jets from FFRR-E64 and vice-versa.

All fits perfectly without trouble.

My tip is to try and get the jets including the BMW-fitted 90deg fitting - means there's no need to extend the standard L322 washer pipes. Obviously with the car sat in front of me I had access to this anyway.

BMW part numbers for the jet and elbow are 61667054446 and 61668374371

Have you got any pics of the difference?

Or a link to what needs to be purchased?

I can't say I have. Car's on charge at present with the battery d/c so I can't run out and take any right now but I'll try and remember to get some tomorrow when I put it back on.

BMW part numbers for the jet and elbow are 61667054446 and 61668374371 - OP edited to include.

Good bit of lateral thinking there - they know how to charge for them though!

Indeed - cheaper aftermarket versions available from China on eBay if you can wait a couple of weeks for postage.

So it turns out it's really quite difficult to actually get a meaningful photo of washer jets working when there's only one of you and washer fluid is transparent. Add in the wipers doing their job and it's *really* difficult.

I have posted a video on YouTube which I've linked below:



*as a special bonus, you can also see the sacrificial E64 in the background.

hi Dan, do you know if these would work on later L322 models, ie 2012 4.4TVD8? Cheers, Steven.

No worries - the only point I was making was because the L322 was originally engineered alongside BMW, it was likely a good place to start (and I've spent enough time under the bonnet of my 645 to suspect they were basically the same jets).

I got a pair of these from a trade-in, they're a bit 'underwhelming' but do cover a wider area with spray. I'm going to try an inline 'booster' pump first, if no good, then I reckon a Ford headlamp washer pump is the correct size to replace the existing screenwash pump.
I'd be a bit miffed if I'd have paid for the washer jets!

That's interesting, I've found the pressure and spray pattern to be absolutely fine with the standard washer pump. I get great coverage and volume of water at all speeds including motorway driving. 2012 (L322) 4.4TDV8 Vogue SE, RSE, Fuji White over Arabica.
