Mine has differnt wheels, an all Chrome grille, and the clear rear lenses on the rear lights.

It probably does have heated water jets then.
Not pedantic at all mate, it was me being thick and getting confused!
Of course it is the E46 platform don't know what I was thinking especially as I can remember many years ago one of my work colleagues had one can always see that car he had in my mind's eye probably because it was in the rather unusual colour pistachio.

I thought long and hard about ordering my car in that colour, but It's one of those marmite colours, so opted for silver thinking the residuals would be be better. and 21 years later, I still have the car. LOL.

I don't regret going for silver though, in the flesh I wasn't that impressing with the pistachio TBH.

Well done having it since new! The 325iT is highly rated as a drivers car. Is yours a manual?

Back then BMW had some pretty interesting colours for these models.

PS: apologies for massive thread hi-jack...

Yeah, sorry for the hi-jack OP, not intended! ..... It is!, a 5 speed manual, yes, with good old hydraulic steering too. A far more engaging, involving and entertaining drive than my M340i TBH, even if it does have half the horsepower.

We're right guys !
Apologies to OP although I think we've probably bottomed all the questions about washer jets now unless anyone else has any others?

I'm sure the BMW techs will have a properly sized tool to insert into the end of the nozzle, but a pin the right size will do just fine. Adjustment is probably just trial and error for the techs too.
