I bought that exact part recently, but I only needed the diamond shaped clip on the top. The actual nozzle is the same as the original one.
I bought the cap from here as they painted it. Saved me the hassle

I've been meaning to disconnect mine as I don't have Xenons , and I hate those stripes you get on the front wings after they operate.
I really must get it done while all the bits are still there! :roll:
From memory the connector is just inside the bonnet on the l/h side and easy to get to

It’s probably got the advantage of reducing the chance of mechanical malais if it never moves

You do need them working for the MOT if you have xenon headlights
When I bought my 2008 e70 x5 many moons ago the BMW salesman gave advice about these. He said that in the winter always put screen wash in that goes to minus 10 deg. It prevents ice forming and them sticking up. He said that losses were a mixture of failures and little tykes pulling them off if they were stuck in the raised position. He mentioned about the cost and the covers being unpainted. 8 years and no issues with the x5. Maybe luck but he said it is more likely to lose them in winter.
