> unfortunately BMW doesn't give the rear fog light option to us folks in the USA...

Actually, I'm kind of glad they don't. I see too many people in their Volvos and other European cars that drive around all the time with that @#$@ rear fog light turned on, the bright red light shining into the eyes of the driver following behind. I use to think that it was a wrong bulb put into the rear socket, such that the brake light was constantly on. Then I realized it was the Fog Light option being on all the time.
