2006 530i inner headlights

I have the adaptive Xenon lights, but some kind of Halogens on the inners. I've read all the posts but am still confused. I can only seem to get the inner lights to come on if you "flash to pass". I have never seen them come on when turning a corner with my blinker on. When I select Hi Beam, the inner lights don't come on either, its just the Xenon's which turn brighter. So is that really all those inner lights are good for is "flash to pass"?
Also I've read about daylight running lights. Mine doesn't seem to have them. If they are turned on by the dealer, will daylight running lights be the inner headlights, or does that just leave the Xenon lights on all the time. Also if the inners are used for daylight running lights, does that mean when I turn the headlights on, the inner lights will go back dark or out?

The inners are nothing but flash to pass on your model year. The high-beams and low-beams work from the outer headlamps, using a shutter which opens up to get the full effect of the bulb on high-beam.
Only the LCI uses the inner lights for a turning light and has done away with using the inners for flash to pass. Instead the LCI utilizes the outer lights by opening the shutter for flash-to-pass, just like the high-beam.
