I know a lot of people want the blanks.
What you could do is buy those and fit, until you find a fog light. Sods Law states that just before your replacement turns up the other side will get smashed or fill with water.
So you could keep that safe until you have a pair to fit, then sell on the blanks.

I have a pair of fogs that I removed from mine when I sourced better condition ones. I'd like to split them and spray the interior with chrome paint to see how they come out.
Try a breaker...there are a few lads on facebook that regularly break Z4...that's how I found mine,

To split them just drop in a bucket of hot water for ten minutes to soften the sealant.
Then very carefully prise the lens off the body. Take your time and put back in the water if you need to.

I’ve just ordered a pair of blanks £19+vat each trade.
5-7 days delivery from Germany.
I’ll list my original ones when I get my car back if someone wants to buy them cheap for a refurb job.

I think I’ll be going the blanks route too. As I said in an earlier post there is no stock of pattern fog lights anywhere at the moment. At this point in time It looks like its OG units or blanks. Blanks are available from main dealers for £23 each.

I doubt the front fogs will be missed!

For those interested, fog lights £125 from BMW direct

That sounds like a good plan!

I honestly only ever used them on my previous Coupe when I was trying to keep them dry inside. I've had my MC that doesn't have them over 4 years now and never missed them.
