Description
Restore proper windshield washer fluid delivery with this replacement heated windshield washer spray nozzle, designed for select BMW E46 3 Series, E46 M3, and E89 Z4 models. Identified by BMW original equipment part number 61667056731, this replacement washer jet helps direct windshield cleaning fluid onto the glass while retaining the vehicle's factory heated nozzle functionality.
The windshield washer system is an essential part of maintaining visibility during everyday driving. Working together with the windshield wiper blades, washer nozzles distribute cleaning fluid across the windshield to help remove road dirt, dust, salt residue, insects, and other contaminants that can obstruct the driver's view.
BMW equipped selected E46 and E89 vehicles with electrically heated windshield washer nozzles. The integrated heating function is intended to help reduce ice formation around the spray outlets during cold weather, supporting normal washer operation when temperatures drop.
Over time, windshield washer nozzles can develop problems caused by mineral deposits, debris accumulation, damaged plastic housings, deteriorated fluid connections, or electrical heating element faults. A defective nozzle may produce an uneven spray pattern, reduced fluid flow, leakage, or complete loss of washer fluid delivery at the affected outlet.
This aftermarket replacement is intended to restore the original washer nozzle function on vehicles equipped with the corresponding BMW heated nozzle configuration. Its original-style design allows it to interface with compatible washer fluid hoses, hood mounting locations, and factory electrical connections when properly matched.
Unlike a universal windshield washer jet, this component is associated with a specific BMW original equipment reference. Correct compatibility depends on the vehicle's production date, washer system configuration, nozzle mounting design, and electrical connector.
Whether replacing a clogged washer nozzle on a BMW 325i, restoring the heated washer system on an E46 M3, or maintaining a BMW Z4 E89, this replacement windshield washer spray nozzle offers a practical solution for preserving clear windshield visibility and original washer system functionality.

Benefits of a Heated Windshield Washer Nozzle
Helps Maintain Windshield Visibility
A properly functioning washer nozzle directs cleaning fluid onto the windshield, allowing the wiper blades to remove road grime, dust, and other deposits.
Replacing a damaged or obstructed nozzle can help restore normal windshield cleaning performance.
Supports Cold-Weather Washer Operation
The integrated heating feature is designed to reduce freezing around the washer nozzle outlets when the vehicle's heating circuit is operating.
This can help maintain spray nozzle functionality during cold-weather conditions.
Important: Heated nozzles do not guarantee that washer fluid will remain unfrozen. Appropriate winter-rated washer fluid is still necessary.
Restores Original Washer Fluid Distribution
A defective nozzle may cause poor washer fluid distribution or direct fluid away from the intended windshield area.
A correctly matched replacement can restore the original spray functionality when the nozzle itself is responsible for the problem.
Maintains Factory Heated Washer Features
Replacing a heated washer nozzle with the correct heated version helps preserve the original equipment configuration.
Vehicles equipped with heated washer jets should not automatically be fitted with non-heated alternatives.
Suitable for Routine Washer System Repairs
The replacement can be used during windshield washer system maintenance, hood repairs, washer hose replacement, or restoration of the original windshield cleaning system.
