Fog Lights on 135i

Does anyone know if the Fog Lights from the 128i fits on the 135i?
i know the fog lights would block the oil cooler and wiring wouldn't be provided. I am looking for the part numbers from the 128i fog lights and if it even fits. I assume it does since its the same M-Sport bumper (at least i thought it was).

Make sure you want to cover that spot on your car. IIRC there's an oil cooler on one side and maybe something else on the other side that you'd want to leave air flowing to. This isn't the first time this has been thought of, you should find a few threads already existing hashing out the pro's / con's.

thanks for the info. Im aware of the oil cooler and other duct work. I'm thinking it would be easy enough to fabricate duct work into the oil cooler with the fog light covering the existing vent. Im just curious if the parts fit and if anyone has the part numbers. Im willing to order them and attempt a retro fit or fabrication of duct to not lose the oil cooler air flow which is obviously essential.

Aren't there Euro versions of the 135i with smaller fog light housings than what came on the 128i? Also, the 128i m-sport fog lights are are short, wide rectangles. There is space for airflow underneath them.

That thread has a different bumper than US 135i mSport bumper has. Im just going to call the dealership to see if they have the part numbers for 128i fogs.
