Unfortunately now my warning won't go off no matter what fluid I use. Sensor must be bad. I made a service appointment for next week.

Me too. I put in a whole gallon of Rain X, and the fluid low light goes on. The dealership drained the Rain-X out & refilled the tank with their fluid.

The service advisor said, just bring the car by now and then and we will check the air in the tires and top off the washer fluid for you.

Here's a little-known fact...

We all know that the adaptive headlight levelling sensor is located on lower arm of the front suspension of the 2014 F30 sedan. But if you look under the bumper of a 2014 F31 Touring (i.e. Sport Wagon), you won't see it. So where is it?

On the rear suspension.

Diagnosis: new washer bottle and sensor. Luckily for me they had it in stock. Seems like these things fail at a little higher than normal rate.
