Wiper fluid low warning

For years now we regularly get the “wiper fluid level low” message come on every time we get in the car.
Doesn’t matter if bottle full or empty
Dealer has looked at it many times and completed many checks.
Pressure test bottle
Test sensor
Check lines
Updated car software ( locked my ECU in the process)

Then they said it happens due to air locks when the fluid bottle is filled too quickly.
Still happening.
Anyone else had a similar issue?
Got any advice?

I had the washer pump motor changed years ago on my m135, was told it was due to the lines clogged up from using cheap fluid that didn’t clean it out

Stuck with bmw ever since. You can buy it in 5L bottles, lasts for ages
