Are you using an eye dropper lol? Seriously it takes me 2 minutes to fill my X5 washer fluid tank.

Would you mind posting a picture of where you pouring the washer fluid?

yeah curious where you’re putting the fluid into… literally takes just a couple minutes

yes. Something is wrong. Either you are putting the washer fluid in the wrong location or your washer fluid reservoir has a leak.

I have noticed the same when the car is parked on a slight incline (sloping backwards). I have to make sure the car is on level ground to fill up.

No issue with filling the washer fluid there - I just did it last weekend when I changed the oil. My issue is that I haven't figured out a way to see the current level. Is there a trick to knowing when it's getting full, except waiting for it to back up into the area you pour it? All my other BMWs have had a window where you could see the tank and know when it was mostly full.
