Alright I just got off the phone with Arnold at Pacific BMW and the switch is 177.60 for the one with the auto lights. Ill post the ETK screenshot along with part numbers for the switch ASAP.
Well since our cars do not have the rear fogs, it wont work for that and I have no idea about the headlight adjuster. I have ideas for both of those switches anyways.
I've asked my wife to look at the cost of European rear fog light kits while she's overseas. If she can find me a good deal on a set, I'm going to need that switch.
the switch can be had without the adjusters for the lights on them, Ausfahrt has that on his ride... i have halogens so i would never need the adjusters.
The Euro lights with the switch you see has a self-leveling Xenon or Halogen (they have either or) dials and a button for the rear fog lights. That is it.

If you have the dial with 1-4 on the right , thats how the lights level, if not then they must self level. Mine make like a buzzing sound and move a little when you switch them on - I have auto leveling.
The auto lights is a bit more complicated and yes the sensor is behind the mirror and the wiring is pretty complex looking at the diagram.
Question: If you have auto-leveling Xenons (as I have) can the switch be used to override the auto-level? I think it would be quite handy to "raise" my headlights up for high speed driving, without resorting to my "high" beams... Is this switch plug and play (say for the rear fogs (I realize we don't have bulb holders and they would have to be added)) or would that require additional wiring to be run?
