Hi, is that your car in the avatar? It looks like a pre 06 e85 with round fogs- the 06 facelift cars have different rectangular shaped fogs :?

How come it’s not got fogs? I thought all Z4’s came with them.

I hate front fogs - people put them on for no reason other than they think they look cool :headbang: Sorry rant over
 
it must be a 2005 plate was a 55 and cant be arsed to get logbook out lol
the car was quite basic when i got it
but it had red m sport seats
manual roof basic basic
buuuut its only got 52,000
since then i have put cruise control, cup holders, m sport steering wheel and it looks good!!
just hate the blanking fog light plates
 
Have you looked behind the bumper, the wiring may be tied back in the engine splash guards (plastic tray like things in front of the wheel arch)? I’m not sure how you would be able to see other than taking off the bumper (which isn’t a difficult job).

I have the opposite issue, I’ve removed the fogs from my facelift E85 and don’t know what to do with the cabling / light that I am no longer using.

You can buy blanking plates to take the place of facelift fogs i believe :?

I’ve fitted the blanking plates so the hole is plugged up nicely, but there are still the wires for the existing bulbs that I need to take care of, I’ll probably just cable tie them somewhere.

Thanks.
