Does every E60 have angel eyes i.e. both xenon / halogen types and from the 520i up to 545i?
Reason I ask this is I saw an E90 the other day without them. I posted a similar topic on "Other BMW Models" asking if only some E90's had them and the reply was only certain models - same situation as the E60. Well always thought all E60's had them!
Anyone know?

In the E39, the DEALER had to hook-up the computer to turn on your DRLs.
In the E60, it is exactly the same deal. In the US/Canada, we do not have access through I-Drive to turn DRLs off or on.

Hella and in-pro is starting to sell Angel Eyes retrofit kits for other makes, like VW Golf.
