Several laws relating to vehicles were repealed during in the eighties in Europe, one being the need for two reversing lights. There is only a requirement for 'A' reversing light. Unfortunately this just a sign of the times.
Even BMW is penny pinching now.
Manufacturers remove all items that are deemed ancillary and then add gadgets as we are happy to pay for these. Just look the list of options now
So now you get only one reversing light, no dials for water or oil etc etc etc on the 1er,
soon it will move through all the models.
Blame the low cost car manufacturers for offering a bunch of gadgets as standard instead of useful items like temp and oil pressure gauges etc
