In my experience the headlight washers work every third time and every first time after you start the car.
I do not feel the "two stage" windscreen washer lever, as it is in the cruisecontrol and blinker.

OK, I know what you mean but still... We are not talking about the same fearture here.
The intensive stuff came out from the the top of the lever.

The E39 only had the two stage system where headlamp cleaning was specified.

I said two-stages because there is a position in between the full washing and nothing where you get the effect but it is not as obvious as with the CC or the blinkers.
Try this out. Press the level and as soon as you see water going out, stop.
Renew the operation until you have enough water and use then you wipers as usual.
I don't know if this is a feature or a misbehaviour of my car <_< but it is quite usefull to perform a small cleaning of the windscreen without losing half of the cleaning liquid tank when using a full washing cycle with headlamps.
For the pic of my point 4, I saw that someone was able to get it.
