My 7/2006 build 2007 e60 550i is currently at my dealer getting off-lease CPO'd. I had heard that there was a "software" update that would allow pre-LCI e60's to run their AE as DRL. Well, he called me back and told me this response:
Curt,
We tried to do the retrofit, or at least what sounded like the retrofit. When we went to finalize and accept the update it called for a new lamp module so we backed out. Not sure where it would have gone but had the possibility of getting kind of hairy. Sorry.
Does that mean all I have to do is purchase a new LCM and I should be good to go? As usual, any help is mucho appreciated.
