I have been told before that with xenon, self-levelling is a must and so too is the headlight washer due to the fact that if the cover has dirt, the light might be scatterred. Then Xenon can be a nuisance to other drivers, much like those with conversion kit and using the projector type housing for halogen lights.

You're right. In Europe self-leveling and washers are mandatory when Xenon is installed, because of the reasons you mention. I suppose it's the same in other countries.

I did a Euro Delivery without a CWP and got the Headlamp washers because it comes with the Xenon which I ordered.

Anyone not got xenons or h/lamp wash? If you haven't what does the bumper look like? Blanks or is there just nothing there?

Thanks all for your harm welcome.
My girlfriend has a 520i -no xenon, no washers-. Bumpers are the same. Same cover (see pic) but nothing under it.

That's correct. It's cheaper for BMW this way.

can anybody confirm wether or not the Headlighht washers are ONLY on Cold Weather Package Cars?

When I ordered my car back in December 2003 (US spec), the headlight washers (HLW) were part of the Cold Weather Package (CWP). Could not be ordered seperately. That may be differnt now, but for 2004 CWP = HLW, no CWP = no HWL, just the plugs in the bumper.
