In Europe, xenon-equipped cars are required to have headlight washers as well, as it is felt that dirty lenses may contribute to a dazzling effect for oncoming drivers. AFAIK the same requirement does not exist in US cars, as the 128i only got headlight washers with the Cold Weather Package, and xenons could be optioned independently of the CWP.
