The windshield wiper fluid reservoir failed and leaked out all the fluid at 6.5 years/34,000 miles. Without wiper fluid I am unable to clean the windshield which is a visibility safety issue. The car is currently at the dealer waiting for a repair part.

Visibility issues are becoming more significant when the sun reflects from the dashboard onto the windshield. The black leather dashboard is separating along the base of the windshield revealing a white under side. This white reflects the sun and creates artifacts on the windshield visible in the drivers field of view. At the leather separates more and more, the distraction is getting worse and worse. The defective dashboard was reported to my local BMW dealer. I was told BMW will not cover it under warranty and the charge to replace the dashboard is over $5,000.
