Depends on the year of your car.
I had to go to the dealer to have them disable the daytime running lights.
Cost about $60. If your car is newer you can do it in the idrive I think.

You're only able to set it in iDrive on LCI (2008+)...anything older will have to be programmer by the dealer

On my '07 I can turn them off in the iDrive menu. But I can't set them to be the angel eye lights. I need to find the code to have the daytime running lights switched to the angel eyes so my dealer can reprogram it. Anyone know the code to switch them?

so can any one with a e60 goto the dealer and get the latest idrive software for all these cool toys
is the idrive the same piece of hardware since 04 and just been software updates, or has the actual idrive hardware been evolving as well?
