To clarify, I'm only looking for the circular glass in the bumper, not the actual fog light.

Look at realoem.com. From a quick look at http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...30&hg=63&fg=15, it does not appear the lens is available separately from the light itself. Try a junkyard (or http://www.lkqcorp.com/ online) or eBay for a used assembly.

I just bought the car recently and am fixing the issues I inherited... It didn't come with any fog light bulbs but I think the rest of the pieces are there. I guess I'll have to pull that assembly out completely and replace it

put film on them

Before you put a new lamp assembly in, I would see if you can get some lens protection film like Stongard or something similar. I had a broken lens a few years ago and cut a little circle of this film for the new lens (and also put it on the other existing one), and haven't had a chip or break since. The film is no guarantee, but since it's a bit of a pain to replace a fog assembly I think it's worth it. I think I got a short roll of the film on Ebay - enough to do both fogs, the signals, and the headlamps.
