Yes it's been done on this forum before, there are threads where people did the whole front bumper retrofit and did the fog lights as well.

This might sound like an obvious question but does that mean US spec M Sport cars don't have fog lights?

Any updates on this OP? I've searched the forums and the best I've come up with are examples of sport lines being converted to M Sport while retaining the fogs that were already on the car prior to the conversion... Does anyone have any definitive info on a straight US-spec M Sport fog light retrofit?

I emailed Jason/Evan at GetBmwParts.com back in late January and asked if it was possible to purchase the Euro M-Sport fog lights and parts required to retrofit fogs to the US Spec M-Sport front and they said no.

GTM Challenge was the poster on this forum who did MSport retrofitting and had fog lights. They would be the people to contact.

Unfortunately I checked with them and its not something they have a bespoke retrofit solution ready for at this time... I'm going to be looking into this when I get my ride back at the end of the month. I may end up just going custom with a universal aftermarket kit.

I had an issue a while back when the M Sport came out. Something in regards to Active Cruise Control as well as Fog-lights not been available for ordering. My Sales advisor at them told me that ACC was impossible to retrofit but the fog lights weren't. It was going to cost a penny or two... but def possible
