And up until now, that's the way I've always thought BMW did DRL's -- front only. Now, with the LCI, it seems as if they've included rear lights as well.

Then again, this new feature could just be a software bug...

But I don't understand why DRL's wouldn't include the rear lights too? The point of them is more visability during the daytime. Why not have all 4 lights on? I also have a 2003 Toyota 4 runner that has DRL's. Front only and they are yellow lights built in the bumper.

I guess since the US market doesn't really require them in the first place, there is no regulation here on what lights up.

Rudy-

The addition of the rear lights is new for BMW in the MY2008 cars. I know for a fact that the '08 3 series DRL are both the angeleye's and the rear lights. Along with the LCI of 5, well those who have DRL's activated. No bugs...just different.
