someone correct me if i'm wrong but if you have heated mirrors then you probably also have heated locks and washers. all the cars i have broken have had.

My mirrors are heated and are listed on the spec sheet. It doesn't mention anything about heated locks or washers, and I wouldn't know about the latter two, as it is garaged over the winter, so doesn't get the exposure where these two options would be noticed.
How would I tell if the locks and washers are heated, nickso?

A car with heated washers will have wires alongside the washer tubes going up the bonnet hinges.

I know I have heated washers, not sure about locks.

If you get the original build sheet for the car from the dealers I think they call it the "Winter Pack" which includes heated mirrors, drivers door lock and washers.

This is correct.
Also, no heated passenger locks.

the e30 heated mirrors are superb, they warm enough to steam off condensation and mist, not just frost
my e36 ones are either rubbish or broken, i have the wires attached to the glass, but if they do work theyre a million miles from the ones on the e30!
