Ditto...I'd start here first...its simple and easy...and costs nothing. Take a straight pin (or a safety pin if that's all you have)...and plunge it into the hole in the tip of the nozzle...which should dislodge any crud.
If this doesn't work, then move on to the other suggestions.
BTW, yes the windshield washer nozzles are heated...at least here in the USA market. In fact, every 7 & 5 series BMW I've owned (e32/e34/e38/e39) as well as the e53 have had heated side mirrors and windshield nozzles.
The 7 series (e38) even has a heated section of the lower front windshield that prevents the wiper blades from freezing to the windshield...I wish this feature was also carried over to other models...but I guess BMW kept this as a 7 series only feature. But the heated wiper nozzles operate the same on the e38/e39/e52/e53 (not sure about the e46):
