On the new 5 series for day lights they have the RINGS on only. Is there any easy way to program a 2004 545i to have the RINGS on instead of the light? The car looks cooler with the RINGS on during the day.

i had the same problem on my 04 545i. i dont know if the canadian bmw's have different specs. but are year models dont have that option in are idrive. so you have to go to bmw and tell them to turn off your daytime running lights. it cost me $60 u.s.

but definitely go for, worth every penny. i always run with my angel eyes on with my fogs.

Not on an '04 as I recall. I know US spec cars did not get the ability to turn on or off DRL until later. It was a dealer setting on my 2004 545...

I had my 2004 525i daytime running lights turned off by the dealer also for $60.

Well worth it.
