Headlight washers M235i

Does anyone know if the headlight washers are standard on M235i or is it apart of some pkg or option??
I hate the things they just waste washer fluid and spray the stuff all over the car. I am hoping i can just disable them if they are standard.

I went back to the dealer that finally got a manual on the lot after having performance parts installed. It has the washers on the bumper.

My old 335i had them. They would only work after the 3rd pull of the washer sprayer. Once every x times of using the washers as it explained by service to reduce fluid consumption as they are intended for use in bad weather conditions.

To disable them, turn off the headlights before activating the washer

I don't remember seeing them either and they're not on the options list… However there are several people in this thread that are saying they are there and in the list… There is a disconnect somewhere!

Can anyone confirm the above

Says in my window sticker "Retractable headlight washers" .... included. A no cost standard feature.

The cold weather package is just the heated seats and heated steering wheel on the M235i.
