Bmw X3 Fog Lights And Reverse?

I just purchased a 2008 BMW X3 and was wondering if this is normal or is something shorted out in the electrical side of things. When I put the vehicle into reverse the front fog lights turn on?? Is this normal, seeing that I am looking to the rear I hope and not the front! Or is this something that has shorted out? Thanks for any input.

This is normal behavior when in reverse. They will also come on as cornering lights when your headlights are on and you turn the steering wheel to one side or the other. Only the side in which you are turning will illuminate.

Also, the rear wiper will wipe when in reverse, when rain sensor is on.
