If you really want to be cool, get some BMW heated washer jets for those 
cold trips when the nozzles ice up.  A friend used to work for a BMW 
dealership and has them on his Fox.  I don't know what they cost or how they 
work exactly, but this is clearly (pun intended) the choice for the 
trickest, most high-tech, washer system.  As a bonus, all of the parts 
are German so the vehicle will not reject them like a bad kidney.
