Just got a new 335 -- I was curious what these little squares were on my bumper. I pulled it and it popped off, and it won't go back. Sorry guys, i need help; this thing is a huge eye sore.

That is for the headlight washers if you have cold weather package. If you have the washers, you need to pull the nozzle out and attach the cover. Dont know how if you dont have them.

[blanca333]

hrmmm so how do i turn on the washers?

[Park2670]

They come on every 3 times you use the headlight washers when your lights are on. Do you even have cold weather package?

[blanca333]

i don't think so. i'm just gonna stop by the dealer tommorrow to have it re-attached.
thanks for ur responses.
wow this was a huge mistake

[Kiemyster]

lol. why... what would run through your mind saying: hmm let me rip off this bulge on my car that came with it! yeah!

lol!!! ok. from now on, just leave the car alone, and if u have any more questions, please call your sales associate. roflol! anyways, yeah ur dealer should be able to put it back on.

i strongly advise u dont tell them the actual story of what happened or else they will die laughing inside. say your cousins son or daughter or some little child came and did it. save yourself some embarrassment buddy. im only here to help

[blanca333]

lol yea alright. tnx

[Kiemyster]

no seriously. dont tell them the real story, there was no sarcasm in that statement. trust me, if u plan on going to that dealership regularly for servicing, you dont want to be remembered as: that prick who ripped off his washers to see what was underneath.

that kind of rep will follow, and haunt you. not to mention they will probably treat you like an idiot and they will mock you like:

yes, your car has heated seats. you know what feature does right? (and your SA will die laughing inside).

anyways, just prepare to have to pay out of your pocket for labor, they will stick you with that. let me know how things go down tmrw.

cheers

[blanca333]

laaameeeeeee these stupid nipple things r the worst!!

[txusa03]

if you are married, say your wife was driving and this is what happen when she came back


jk

Oh, is there anything on the back side of the piece you are holding?

[ejazbmw]

lol what went through your mind that day? were you like "hey I wonder if pull this will i get a suprise?" and well you kinda did the labor charge from the dealer

[txusa03]

What dealer would charge customer to put that back is just absurd to me unless he broke some sort of tab/clip that hold the piece on.

You should say "I feel like an idiot, but I popped this piece off to see what was underneath. Now I can't get it back on."

They'll laugh, but put it back on for you. They won't remember you as "the prick who popped off his headlight washer" unless they are pricks themselves.

OTOH, if you try to come up with some phony story, they'll know it was phony and may (rightly) think less of you for it. They hear phony stories all the time, sort of like the proctologist on Seinfeld. Kramer: "You meet a proctologist at a party, don't walk away. Plant yourself there because you will hear the funniest stories you've ever heard. See, no one wants to admit to them that they stuck something up there. Never. It's always an accident. Every proctologist story ends in the same way: 'It was a million to one shot, doc, million to one!'"

dude, relax, it's a friggin snap on piece. get a hold of yourself, and pop it back in.

[ska///235i]

make sure you dont snap the rear lip spoiler off if you have one

[blanca333]

lololol.

thanks bk.

ill see what happens soon.

[mds82]

reach your fingers in there, pull out the washer, and then reattach it - It'll take you 30 seconds.

You must have miss a minor detail, he has no cold weather package. Where is he going to find the washer behind there

[karliejai]

just glue it on yourself if you don't have a washer... its not like you need it anyways

[tintivilus]

If he had the washers, you'd see it in the picture. They pull in to just below the bumper when they're off.

[Crazy Bimmer]

Ha, this whole time i thought i had headlight washers because of that square piece in the bumper.

Guess i dont since i dont have cold weather package. Oh well.
