Anyone consider adding fog lights?

In my excitement over my pending X3M, I totally missed there are no fog lights.

In another delivery thread here, it shows the M40i with fog lights and the cavity seems the same.

Has anyone considered adding fog lights to the X3M? I haven't received mine yet so the headlights may be sufficent but I'm a huge fan of forward facing lights. I would likely wire them to come on and stay on with the parking lights (I know, I'm a horrible person )

Interesting. My 2005 E46 had them. Wonder when and why they stopped?

Not only the additional light, but I love the way it makes the car look at night.

Headlights are enough, not a fan of the idea of adding them!

I believe that they have been removed from M cars so they can have better air flow and cooling.

Interesting. Looking at the grill of the X3M there appears to be massive airflow space.

I'm actually curious if I am going to have to clean leaves out of it like I do to my gutters!

You might as well install spot lights on the grill if you wish and add some fog lights you desire to reduce the airflow space please post a pic after your done
