I too am very interested in this mod.
Negative. The rear fog lights in the E9X cars work perfectly after either installing the Euro switch or modifying the US switch so that it will work. The light switch in the E9X cars have a "blank" button that controls the rear fog lights, all that needs to be done is remove a couple tabs on the back of the button and it works perfectly. With the Z4 you have to replace the switch. I am trying to confirm if the Euro switch can be installed in US cars. The source I found to supply the switch says that he does not know if US cars have the rear fog lights installed and he says the car might have to be coded. The switch is just under $100 plus $20 shipping. It is not returnable so I want to try and confirm it will work before I order it.
