Here's what I gather:
E70 X5 (non-M and pre-LED halo) - no idea what the inner projector does as the lower fog lights function as cornering lights. The halos also use a halogen bulb but don't need the glass projector.

E70 X5 (M edition) - no idea what the inner projector does. No cornering light functionality as the M models don't have lower fog lights. The halos use a halogen bulb, however they don't need a glass projector.
E71 X6 (non-M and pre-LED halo) - no idea what the inner projector does as the lower fog lights function as cornering lights. The halos also use a halogen bulb but don't need the glass projector.

This is very odd...
The inner lights are just cosmetic for your 2010/2011, as others stated. Those have H8 bulbs, which power the 4 angel eye rings. 2012+ X5s get the LED powered halo rings, then the inner projectors serve a purpose of additional lighting for reverse/turns.
