When the vehicle is presented by BMW for type approval it is part of the design that headlamp washers be fitted. Otherwise it fails its type approval.
By fitting aftermarket Xenons with no headlamp washers - you are effectively voiding the type approval.
Lets say you wrote your car off, If your insurance company wanted to they could claim that your didn't meet the type approval submitted by BMW.
If the accidet was caused by the other party not seeing you they would pay very close attention to your headlamps (if you were driving at night).
The xenon beam requires a cleaner lense than non Xenon as it can get distorted very easily. The driver needs to have the ability to clean the headlights at any time. The headlamp wash will always tend to be hooked into the windscreen wash as it reduces the electronic complexity in the car.
