heated washer fluid element

do you guys know if the W140 has a heated washer fluid element?
I had a 93 300E convertible and it had it.
it was easy to see on that car, on the w140 as you know it is hidden behind the bumper and i could not see any hoses going to it.
it was nice to have in the winter, i never got hot water out of my washer on the S420.

Mine has it, 1997 S600. Don't know about others. It's a coolant line running into the bottle from the top.

My 92 500 SEL has heated water, there is a coil in the washer tank. The nozzles are electrically heated, and the base of the windshield is also heated by water. It comes from the duo valve!
