Wrong pukka, the headlight washers work once every 8 or 10 washes of the windscreen with the light switch in auto or low beam.
The flap is the same regardless of whether you have headlight washers or not, it has a spring fitted if you have them.
They were fitted if you have Xenon headlights or as an option if you have halogen headlights.

If I'm wrong, then the BMW dealership where my 5er gets serviced is wrong. I have the service document to back up what I stated and would gladly post it if anyone asks.
Furthermore, leaving the headlamp switch in Auto by itself will not activate the headlamp washers unless the low beams or HIDs are actually ON.

It states in the manual how many times the headlight washers work when washing the windscreen and the dealerships have been known to be wrong on many occasions.

For every "rule" there always seems to be an exception! I wonder if you have another feature that wasn't available with the heated steering wheel. Maybe something like lane departure?

No... I have heated seats, heated windshield nozzles,heated mirrors,hud,aux. Now I am curious to know what the hell kind of package constitutes having headlight washers... I need to do some research.

You have an M - which has its own special sales brochure. The rules for us normal 5er owners don't apply to you.

According to my sales brochure, heated seats were a stand alone option, but were included in the Cold Weather package. The heated steering and headlamp washers were NOT stand alone options
