I was curious if anyone knew the answer to this as I didnt see anything when I did a search....
Does anyone know why the M-cars do not come with fog lights? Personally i think cars with fogs look better, and for performance you'd think you want the extra lights for those type driving conditions, so why no fogs on the M's???????

Because they use the fog light "socket" as a brake cooling duct...
(What's funny is that on my 550i with the M-sport front, I have both brake cooling ducts and fog lights...not that I ever use them much, right Ice?

M5's don't need fog lights. The fog just moves aside when it sees an M5 coming...respect.
Plus, huge weight savings!

I think we should start that thread all over again and see how many people are idiots for driving with their fog lights on. That thread stirred up some serious posts! Hahahaha! Let's start it up again! LOL!
