Currently my e46 Touring does not have either the headlamp washer option or rear PDC. Would it be worth it for me to retrofit either? I think they are pretty cool but I know both have their issues. Thoughts.

Mikey, I am going to move your thread over to a technical forum unless you tell me that you're planning to use this thread as your project thread.
Let me know.

I'd rather not have the headlight washers and the PDC bumpers have those little divots that annoy me.

I've never thought the headlamp washers are a particularly beneficial option. I'm sure there are plenty of folks who would have use for them (living on a dirt road, dirt rally enthusiast, etc.), but I don't see myself as one of them. Add to that that retractable washers add more failure points & I just don't find myself needing them.

PDC, yes.
Headlight washers, no.
I don't see the point of the headlight washers without wiper blades. Okay, my headlights are dusty and dirty. Let's wash them... oh wait, all that did was soak the dirt and make it worse.

+1 I hate my headlight washers; so I capped them off.
