I was wondering what's behing the M tech fogs and if you remove them is there a hallow space like at the M5 bumper or it's filled up?

The reason i'm asking is that if it's empty and looks decent i would happily remove them since i don't use them (at all even) and it would prove to be somewhat of a facelift.

Has anybody done this or know what's behind the fogs?

Thanks

If you're facing the car, behind the left one is nothing. Behind the right one is a reservoir for one of the many fluids. This is how it is on my car which is a 2008. I dont know it's the same for yours. I changed mine to PIAA Plasma Ion's. It's the 2500K true yellow fog. Looks very DTM/Lemans-ish. Of course I only use them in fog or rain.

Hope this helps

On the left there is a white tank with a liquid . But I don't see contraindications if you remove the fogs keeping the airducts .

Lemma controindicazione
Traduzione s.f.
1 (med.) contraindication: le controindicazioni della terapia sono numerose, the treatment has numerous contraindications
2 [...]

From latin contra + indicatio + "wtf"

Did you consider to attach wires + bulbs against something metallic behind the bumper ?
Or a resistor in place of bulbs .

Bettermakeway was asking how to operate on his E60 and I suggested to Hellraiser how to eliminate the symptoms (error on the iDrive) indeed

Contra-indica?es in Portuguese!
