Yes, they're both used then (see pic).
What puzzles me is the cornering lights: on my E90 3-Series, the outer lamps were swivelling xenons like the M235i but the inner pair provided the cornering lamps (shining outwards rather than forwards). The M235i UK handbook says "In sharp turns ... either the fog lights or the cornering light switches on."
I have seen 1-Series using their fog lights as cornering lights but we don't have fog lights. However, the quote from the handbook suggests that there is another type of cornering light too. Is this another trick that the xenons can play?
And the inner heat-sinks? Are they really just dummies, seems expensive for something that's only visible when the bonnet is open.
