Not in North America. Not sure about euro spec.

might even help the rear camera.

They exist on the Euro spec cars.

Apparently, BMW does not believe that fog exists in the Continental United States. Just another example of how BMWUSA dumb down their product offerings here.

It's actually really dumb, because the rear foglights ARE there, but they function as the adaptive brake lights only.

In International vehicles, normal braking will get a single brake light, and ABS will activate two "rows" of brake lights. The rear foglights function only as such.

In NA vehicles, normal braking activates two rows of brake lights, and ABS activates the rear foglights.

I had a '07 BMW E92 335 coupe. It did not have rear fog lights. However, somebody at E90post forums has found out that the rear fog lights and even the button to turn them on was there but the button was disabled by BMW for NA cars. Tons of post members took the light control mechanism out, detached the piece that turns on the fog lights from the mechanism and put everything back together. That was it - you have working fog lights which you can turn on and off.

I'm curious if it's same with E70s.

Same here. For my E92, I took easy way out to get rear fog light working by ordering a european switch. I too am wondering about E70X5.
