is it just the 2 blinker bulbs and 2 xenon bulbs in the headlight housing? the area inside the inner most rings seem to have glass housing but i'm unsure if thats just for show or if they actually light up under certain circumstances. in my old e92 they were called cornering lights and would light up for a few seconds when you turned the steering wheel in the corresponding direction. Anyone know if they're empty or if there are bulbs in there?

All 4 LED rings light up but only the 2 outer lenses are used as headlights.

I know on my 228i the fogs are used for cornering lights but since Ms don't have those I would guess they don't have cornering lights.

I have no idea which is which in the headlight module...
Please share information if someone has the knowledge.
