The trouble with front foglights is they can look a bit like DRLs :x

On my X5 when I have lights on automatic, the front fogs automatically come on!! So you saying I can get points for something BMW have programmed?
Or is it a fault and I should have it checked?

I'm not sure the car is programmed in the UK for that, sounds like some one coded that to your X post handover.
