Yes. Only one rear fog.
Personally, I prefer two, as per my previous F30.
I think it’s cheap of BMW to install only one fog, and I believe it compromises safety to a certain degree. It’s much easier for a following car to see you if you have two fog lights on. And what happens if your one fog light blows and fails to illuminate?

Yep. The Orange thing is going well. I’m enjoying it more and more every time I drive it.
The only mods I’ve done are aero.....front spoiler, rear spoiler and diffuser and side skirts....all OEM.
I have laser lights so I don’t have front fog lamps. I thought this was a bit weird at first, but the lights swivel to take care of all lighting situations. I still am annoyed the BMW only installed one rear fog light.

yes , it's weird but seems to be designed to work like that. And on my wife's 1 series, the right side lamp is the fig light, and the left is the reversing light. So many people tell her one reversing light is broken....
