BMWs are known for 'childish' failures, even if you use the purest spring water

Germans just need excuses, class actions should be brought against them for this - I've changed dozens of windshield washer pumps on my BMWs and once on my Merc. Not once on a Lexus or Toyota, though they were much older.

So for the winter, unless you're paying $1.00 for that concentrated bottle, you're really not saving anything. The website says about $7 USD for the bottle, so you'd be looking at over $21 USD per bottle of washer fluid.

Even for -3 degrees Celsius freezing point (26 degrees Fahrenheit), you would only get a total of 256oz (64oz x 4), which is only 7.57L, or two jugs of regular washer fluid. So about $3.50 USD per bottle of washer fluid.

Good call on that. The website way exaggerated the cost effectiveness. They did say "up to" to cover themselves, and that might work in California.

If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
