Strange Grey Goo Between Headlights and Fenders
Does anyone have any ideas of what this is and if it is serious? Otherwise I call Ghostbusters - it's ectoplasm and I've been slimed |

Is that the infamous headlight blinker fluid leaking from the reservoir?

I don't know, but I'm sure the stealership could fix it for about $800.

unless you have adaptive headlights, then it's twice that.
the E70s do have a problem with plastic parts beginning to dissolve over time. i wouldn't be at all surprised if that's the headlight seal beginning to perish.

to be fair, i never encountered dissolving plastics on any of my E34, E36, E39 or E46 before. either european-made beemers were different or they simply don't make 'em like they used to anymore.

e36 M3: engine under cover, fender liners, ducts, the usual plastic cooling parts except WP, pretty much most plastics I have to remove to do a job in engine bay. may be a window regulator or two. cant remember 8+ years ago.
