no clue. never seen those before
I’ve seen them on another car that’s been restored, too.
My 73 has those three holes, even the SS bumpers have them, not sure what for.
Some countries back in the 70's had obligatory fog lights, didn't the UK?
If so, or even if not, it could be that bmw anticipated on them becoming standard, so they opted to already ensure lthe provision was there.
When i was working with Volvo around 2002, one of their car model had a 3rd brake light when no-one else did. Explanation to the world was that they were leading safety. (which they did!).
Reality in the engineering dept was that we had to make a guess when the legislation made the 3rd brake light mandatory. We guessed wrong; it wasn't for another few years

That’s interesting. Thx!
The UK coupes I’ve seen had the fog light inside of the bumper guard and it has be on the driver’s side. For some reason they were never a big thing here.
