Don't give up yet. The fog wires (one for each fog light) must be run to the BDC_BODY located in the front passenger side footwell of the vehicle. You already found the schematic that identifies where the wires connect (connector and pins) to the BDC_BODY.
You will also need to FDL code BDC_BODY to enable the LHD and RHD rear fogs. As you have already noted, there is normally only one rear fog (on the driver's side of the vehicle) so it will take a little work to identifying how to code BDC_BODY to enable both rear fogs but I can help you with that. Do you have experience with Esys?
FYI, I installed the rear fog (only one side) on my G20. The install for your G05 appears to be similar to my G20 but for the G20, the rear fog is integrated into the tail light assembly so I had to install ECE taillights and figure out how to FDL code the ECE taillights to work in the US G20.

Installing rear fogs into your G05 should be a relatively straight forward process.

Thanks..... but I live in a country that cannot even manage to look up a set of caliper bolts for an X5M.... unless I have a VIN number..... and even when I do have a VIN.... they told me they couldn't order the bolts because "The X5M isn't sold in Belgium".
Which.... it is sold in Belgium.... That particular dealer had just never seen one. Not kidding..... the Belgian BMW dealer, doesn't even know what kind of BMWs are sold in Belgium. I couldn't make this up.
By the way, this was THREE of their top mechanics, with my brake caliper IN THEIR HANDS..... and this was the answer I got.
At least they were honest when they spent THREE HOURS with my car trying to figure out rear foglight wiring.... and they gave it back and said "it cannot be done"
Absolute.... incompetent.... morons.
While I'm capable of running the wiring, I can't get a straight answer from anyone on which relays I would need..... nor do I trust the local BMW dealer to even touch my car. If I knew the EXACT part numbers for the correct wiring harnesses, and correct relays.... I would do it. Byt the information just doesn't exist, and I cannot locate anyone competent enough to tell me what I need.
I'm going to run an aftermarket fused switch, and wire them directly into the OEM rear foglights. It may not be the "right" way.... but it's the best I can do with the circumstances I have.
