Really cool...? :thumbsdown:? :thumbsdown:
Well, not really. If you go drive around at night here in Canton, Michigan you will see that about 60% of the cars drive with the fog lights on. Inluding me [/quote]
That makes them all f*cking idiots!!!

THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT !


If they all jump off a skyscraper, would you do it ? NO. So don't do that shit...

You don't see more!!! It doesn't look cool!!!
It's just wrong and bad!

These lights are called "FOGLIGHTS"... that should tell you something...

Well, maybe... But it actually has nothing to do with how old you are. When you use them in regular conditions you just show that you have no clue about those lights, what they are there for and what they do. Driving around like that is the same like walking around with a piece of paper on your back saying: "kick me I'm stupid"... You are not doing that, so why driving around with the foggys on...?
This is so sad...

i beg to differ....the Angel rings on the 5....there is no reason for them..but they are there for style because they look good....in that case many people feel that fogs on with headlights also look good. Sorry that having fogs on in Germany are illegal...

The rings are design and look cool. They are not annoying and have no other function. Just like the LED's on the side...

But foglights are there for FOG ONLY !

Plain and simple!!!


A BMW driver should know how to use them and how to drive. Having them on is f*cked up!!! Plain and simple!!!

I can understand your contradictary taste....and i would be mad as hell if it was illegal here in USA to have them on. But since they are not....i would say 80% of all luxury car owners do have them on while driving. Believe it or not...and i guess that makes them all STUPID! lol

This is not about taste!

And if you want to see it this way, then I have to say, yes you're right. Americans in luxury cars seem to be stupid. But I DOUBT that ALL of them do what you do...


It's simply f*cked up!

Geez, Iceman. I have never seen you this fired up. And over fog lights??? Give me a freakin' break. Sounds like you have been traumatized or something by them. With comments like that, sounds like you should shift to the Roadfly board where all the other cranky people lurk.

Again, we're talking about optional use of fog lights???????


It's one of the most f*cked up things you can do!!!

It doesn't look cool or good, it lokks STUPID, plain and simple!!!

I guess Iceman had a bad day today? Let's all chill out and be friendly again. Forget about this post. It was just a tip. We can either take it or walk away.
