I don't think xenon fog lights are an OEM option. But why would it be worth $900 + shipping & install? Are xenon headlights not bright enough?

You can just retro fit them yourselves... just buy a set of HB4 xenon head light kit and find a way to secure the ballasts and you'll have Xenon Fogs...
My friend did that with his E39 M5

But as extra high-beams.
I will personally go for mixterks idea and buy me Philips Blue Vision
Angel Eyes, high-beams and fog light bulps.
The Xenons are great!

Do xenon foglights improve visibility in fog?. That is all they are for, not to blind other motorists when not foggy!

Saw these on a few e60's in Singapore last November. When I came back I checked the accessories catalogue. While not available for the e60, BMW UK sells these upgrades for the X3 so I presume these could be added to an e60.
