Due to cooling issues that engine has.
It needs more cooling than the standard models. Normally both vents are closed on the bumper, the M135i has one open vent for better cooling, the M235i two in some countries due to higher air temperatures.

I thought the air from them went nowhere unless you removed the brake cooling ducts?

On m135i open vent is on the RHS of the car and allows air flow into the oil cooler.

Me too, although probably leave them off for good now as the amount of junk mine had collected I wouldn't what that rotting away over winter
And you never know when you'll need to cool your brakes.....

Of course BMW don't reduce the cost of the adaptive headlights option actually any M-Sport trim model looses out due to the body kit making it pointless having the fog lights activate on cornering.
