Are you running daytime running lights voluntarily? I'm partial to them and want to see how many people are running daytime running lights... Mine came from the dealer set on.

I want to turn it off but I think the only the sport version has the option of having it off.

I accidentally posted a null vote but I have DRL and I think they are required by law. My understanding is that all new cars in Canada must have DRL but I don't know whether it's actually illegal to deactivate them.

I had the dealer enable them on my 2005 545. I really like it.
Have read a few reports about the chances of your car being involved in an accident is lesser with DRL as other drivers are more 'aware' of your car. I can vouch for this as I 'notice' other cars with DRL quicker, when I drive.
