Windsheild washer makes noise but no squirty :(

[Reeeeeeee]

Some kind of pure of air i need to do? second hand car 2015 x1 tank was empty so i added lots of water jesus thing took like 2 gallons no leaks. nice and full i hit the wipers the motor makes noise as if its pumping water but nothing comes out i assume the pump is bad or air in system? both front and back don't work for water they make nose doe odd both pumps are bad

ideas? too lazy to take it apart i may just beat on it until it works

Bad pump would be my thought. I had the same issue on my other car. In my case, the afflicted pump made noise since it was trying to work but it wasn't happy and eventually died completely.

Any leaks along the washer hose?
Is the rear washer working?

Just changed mine a few months ago. The pump went without making any motor noise.

I have a similar issue. Troubleshooting so far:
-- rear washer working
-- headlight washers normal
-- disconnected pipe at first nozzle - no fluid pumped out but pump noise.
-- Checked 30 amp fuse and fuse is fine
-- blew back through hose towards pump with compressed air and bubbles up through tank

The above seems to indicate a pump failure assuming the windshild sprayers work off a separate pump than the headlights and rear washer.

Is it the same or a different pump?

Any other thoughts?

Any recommended sources for new pump and cover pins if I remove and replace?

Washer pumps can be bought from Amazon or ebay or parts store. Videos are similar to e90 or e82. But I think I saw one that's e84 X1. Make sure you replace the pump for the front and not the rear! They sit next to another.
