The expansion tank is 17 11 1 707 540 - cant find a price, so it might not available anymore.

Assuming the washer bottle is the same as the later E30 its 61 66 1 370 788 - about £25-£30 I think.

I've got a sugested price of 24.70 plus vat for the tank from my ETK.

I've got a brand new face lift expansion tank from BMW but i'm not sure on the availability of the early tank ?

I've got the same part number as James for the pre-face lift wash tank, it has a sugested price of 16.80 plus vat.

Get the prices checked at the dealers though as they are not 100% accurate.

Just buy new! The intensive wash (twin bottle) bottle is £8 new, the large single one is £16. Coolant tank won't be much more. If the coolant bottle has gone brown, it won't get it's original white colour back, bleach will clean the washer bottles up, but won't get them looking mint.

Sorry, I do apologise, it's £8.50 on my ETK, I paid a little less because I get a discount at my dealers! :mad:

The large single bottle is oddly twice the price.

not one of your posts says anything about you buying a bottle a few months ago.

But if you were to call up BMW today, you will find that infact the price of the bottles has gone up quite alot! But if you can still get them for £8.50 then please buy me two more!
