+1 ... but from visibility point of view what you called "classic" or pre-LCI AE is not design to be the DRL so visibility is very minimal during the day.

Only LCI cars have that while the pre-lci ones don't. (I think you have to go the dealer to reprogam the DRL but not sure).

Nope I have 2007 and have option in my iDrive to turn on/off DRL, you may need to go to the dealer to have it programmed ... BUT as you probably already know the DRL on pre-LCI is the inner light (high beam) NOT the halo ring like on the 2nd pic ... on the LCI their DRL become the AE.

I have Day Running Lights on my 2004 535d. When turned on in the i-Drive, the Day Running Lights come on if the light switch is in the auto-lights position. On my car (a pre-LCI car) when they are on, it is the dipped beam that is on - i.e. normal night time lights.
I would like to change this so that the angel eyes come on (sidelights) instead of the dipped beam - the same as the LCI models. Is this possible? Can it be re-programmed?

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
I have DRL's on my 2005 (option in iDrive on/off) but it's not the Angel Eyes - it's the high beams at half power. Don't know if the AE's come on during the day - I try not to stand in front of my car when it's running.
