Rear Fogs?

Big Windy · 04-22-2008, 02:27 AM

don't know if i'll ever use them, but its a cool mod and i'll probably go for it too.

Davinhci · 04-22-2008, 10:47 PM

Just got done putting mine in. Thanks to the perfect step by step directions anyone can do it. Took me about 15 minutes.

looks great. i'm going for it for sure...still trying to think of a use for that front fogs button besides a radar detector.

Nice install Davinhci and nice pics too.

Good to know it only took 15 minutes to install.

Thanks

I am hoping we can determine the part number that has the button for rear fogs only and not front fogs

you can always just swap out the button covers from your stock switch...

As far as I know, BWM doesn't make a switch with the rear fog light switch, and no switch for the front fogs.

yeah, i guess when you think about it it really wouldn't make too much sense for them to do that.

Except for this case, where front fogs do not come on any version, but rear fogs are mandated in Europe, I believe.

I'm thinking I will use the front fog button to activate my forward firing bazooka which dispatches "left lane lurkers" that is folks going slow in the left lane who won't yield the left lane to faster traffic from behind them.

Isn't that what the Euro M3 has? Or does the Euro M not have rear fogs enabled either?

I stand corrected...nice research Greg! You get a gold star!!

JuniorDee · 04-24-2008, 03:02 PM

So whats that part number??? Maybe our friends across the pond can get it for us?

and on the center console you can see the pdc button next to the heated seats and rear shade buttons for those lucky enough with front pdc sensors

super gold star for who can get that to work

skierman64 · 04-24-2008, 07:41 PM

I like having the option to use the front foglight switch (unused) for something else in the future. Heck if I put the blank switch on top of it from my removed light switch it would be stealthy too.

Now, where do I find a bazooka.

I buddy of mine has a train horn on his lifted F250 4x4. It is louder than shit. There's an awesome use of a blank switch. LOL

I think the conducters special will work just fine...152db...yeah baby

Damn, no star for me?

So there must be a Euro part. Someone be brave and pick one of those random part numbers that haven't been tried. Haha. Dont' blame me if you get missile launcher buttons instead though.
