1 series needs a fog light
I am really pissed that BMW didn't put the fog light on the 1 series:iono:since it will really look nice. Hopefully the the US one gets one otherwise I am complaining to BMW:mad:

Sorry, JMO but that's hardly a reason for installing fogs.

Fog lights may be offered on the 135 eventually (although I doubt it), but they would have to be a completely different unit to fit on the M Sport kit. Plus, they'd have to be small enough so as not to interfere with the brake cooling ducts, so where would they put them?? :iono:

I've wondered about this because there clearly is a space on the outermost edge next to brake ducts on either side. You can see it's just blocked blocked off.
Maybe it'll be offered in the future....the 1-er's going to be a work in progress anyway as refinements are made. HID's aren't enough to lite up the side of the road. |

The only reason I use my fogs is to give me more light along the lower sides of the road at night since I have halogens still (didnt figure it was cost-effective to upgrade to xenons). Hopefully I wont need them with the newer xenons. I dont run them at all during the day, unlike many of the other people I see with their fogs on 24/7. I dont care how cool people think they are with them on, fogs during the day is like saying "I'm an ass hat."

I can't remember, are Adaptive Lights being offered? They could help as far as turning goes. I will say though that the beam pattern of the Xenons on the MINI throw some decent light on the right shoulder. Better than the Halogens in my A3 at least :iono:

In the US, Xenons include Adaptive lighting regardless if xenons are optional or standard.

I totally agree with you. Were starving over here..BMW or somebody throw us a bone. Next we'll start a thread on whether 128i/135i emblem should a little bit lower, or higher, or bigger...lol

And I don't mean to politicize the thread (no flames please) but it's like waiting has turned into a way of life in the U.S. Wait to pull back the troops. Wait to get a new president. And wait for the 1er. BMW should rescue us with some new pics. My 2 centavos.:frown::frown: |
