There is more to this. I am in Germany right now with a U.S. Spec 2011 Z4 35i. I am trying to get my rear fogs working as I am moving to the UK next month.

Mine has the 6 wires, and I have changed the switch as well as the rear lights (for UK). Of course it is not working. It may be the missing 7th wire but I doubt it, here is why:

The cable assemblies for the US and EU spec cars are the same according to Realoem. The only difference in part numbers is if the car has adaptive headlights.

My wife has a Mini and we are in the same boat with it. Here is a difference though. I have read that the car has to be reprogrammed to recognize the 5AA option. I would bet the Z needs to be programmed as well.

Any thoughts?
