e92 m3 fog lights

2008bimmerM3 · 10-25-2008, 11:24 AM

The e92 M3 doesn't come with fog lights huh? I see that instead there are ducts to a radiator of some sort.

and the question?

the ducts are actually for air intake

Well thanks blakepilot for the nice picture. Did you get that nice picture from the 09 Owner's Manual? I'm desperately trying to get one.

m5 doesn't either...these engines need to breathe

As noted above, drivers side intake goes into the airbox and the passenger side intake feeds the transmission cooler.

just wondering: where does it leave the leaves it sucks up on the road???
Do we need to 'empty' this every once in a while...?

No foglights because BMW needs the room for extra cooling of breaks and motor

Cheers

Actually, the vent on the passenger side goes to a radiator circulating transmission oil - It does not cool the motor.

And then of course the one vent on the hood and drivers side lower bumper as parts of the air intake system.

The engine oil cooler is along the bottom of the large center bumper inlet. There is actually a vent that diverts air that passes through the oil cooler back under the car.

Just saying what my dealer said

Sorry

The new M3 desperately needs proper brake ducts. It's inexcusable.

Who uses fog lights anymore? I mean other than aesthetics, what's the point? Looks
