The intensive washers are a second pump and
washer fluid source and lines that run just to the windshield driver and passenger side. This intensive tank is a small reservoir that is located under the hood just in front of the right shock tower. I do not think it came without head lamp washers. I disconnected my head lamp
washer pump so it will not fire off and flood the hood and grill area and then dry in the sun.

washer lines and nozzle lines parts numbers are buried in Real OEM under
Body electrical, drill to the bottom and you will see the parts required. If you use your VIN number when opening the site, the software will grey out the parts that do NOT fit your application on most visuals.
As mentioned many many times, the highest failure item are the pumps themselves. If you had posted this in a wagon forum you would get more detailed info. Is your vehicle equipped with head lamp washers, intensive and the rear wiper on the rear hatch?
The quick test is to confirm are any of them are working as the front, intensive, and rear pumps are interchangeable. The headlamp
washer pump is the BIG one with the larger diameter hose the runs up in the fender to the back side of the right front corner of the bumper, just over the right bumper extension/ "porkchop". Your pumps and
washer fluid reservoir are located in the right front wheel well on the back side of the fender nearest the door. Access: remove tire, remove liner bolts, one push clip, and three one time use rivets along the back edge on each wheel liner. Pull liner free and wash well.
If none of the pumps are working check fuses first, otherwise just follow the simple parts replacement process. Replace the seal screens
6166700606 that are under each pump. These must be replaced as the new ones will leak when the new pumps are installed. To test each pump, just pull the electrical connectors off and jump them with a 12 volt source and they should spin. If not toss away. I would buy the OE versions (non BMW logo) ones. The line connectors snap on. One quick pull and they pull off and one quick compression they reconnect. Every thing is brittle so be careful. Wash everything while your are there. I spritzed ArmorAll on everything plastic before reassembly.
Note: check for leaks BEFORE you button everything up. The fill tube leak at the reservoir, a worm drive clamp or zip ties will resolve it.
There are two lines to each nozzle on Intensive equipped models and ONE to each nozzle on non intensive applications. See Images below for examples.
