I need to replace the cracked wiper fluid reservoir on my 2004 E46 M3. I cannot find an "easy" way to access the bolts that hold it in place. Do I really have to remove the front bumper to do this?
If it's cracked and you're going to dispose of it anyway, and can't see any obvious way of removing it intact, why not slice/dice/cut it apart until you can see how it's mounted, and whether installing a new one intact has to be done the way the Bentley manual suggests? I'm not familiar w/ E46's, so I wish I had a more specific answer for you, maybe somebody else will. If you get busy with a utility knife or dremel or cutting wheel or what-not, exercise due caution not to damage yourself in the process.
I belive if you removed the wheel well splash panel you should be able to get the bolts and remove it. But thats going off memory. I will look tomorrow I have an M3 in my work stall for tomorrow.
Yes...you are right. I also had to remove the trim from under the headlight trim. All done now! Many thanks.
