Not only Euro but must be different on each ... my '07 525xi can do it in the iDrive ... You had NAV/CCC in your car back then?
I tried but couldn't switch back and forth on the DRL, the car manual also mentioned nothing about it..
On my 2010 the car manual mentions that you can switch the DRL off/on..
I just checked your build date.. your 2007 oct 06 build there was a change in the E60's I recall the Real Time traffic alert was added at that time which was not offered in my build date.
And I suspect the DRL on/off option was one of the features they offered at the time.

Exactly which lights are on during the day? I've never noticed them.
For pre-LCI cars the inner bulb ( the "?") is the day time running lights which can not be turned off or on by idrive but only by your dealer, except for cars built in September 06 which had some changes which I guess included the daytime running lights on/off options.
i just have AE and the xenon bulbs

if you seriously want to turn it off cheaply if ur out of warranty, yank off the bulb, and put a pair of resistors there and ur good to go.
Because you would lose highbeams altogether (for pre LCI only). Why would you do that?
