I want to swap the intensive wash system between 2 cars leaving both in working order.

Firstly, can anyone list what I need to remove from the donor car to make sure I get all the intensive wash components, obvious ones being:

Wipers and motors.
Intensive wash tank, pump and attached relay and related tubing.
Windscreen wiper stalk - will I need to remove any extra wiring?

I think it's probably the electrical bits I will miss as I the water parts are probably relatively easy to trace!?

Any pointers? :?

there is a loom that runs off the relayon the washer bottle you'll need that, iirc it connects to the main harness behind the pass side headlights winkeye

Assume the loom should then plug into the other car without any problem?

I've done the cruise control and OBC switch and all the connections were already there so I'm hoping that in true BMW style it'll be this easy again.
