Do you have NAV? 'cuz I don't and one of the Moderator here Iceman pointed out that NAV owner may have to go to the dealer, but another member the-oneil from Europe has NAV along w/ DRL selection... I'm not so sure...

Tha daytime running lights has an on/off selection switch in the lighting menu, under the 3 way flashing thingy, saw a pic of it here on the site. The lights are working but the control is not there. There has to be a time you can drive with just the angel's and fogs on right?........have to be.....right? Well, that's when I DON'T want the DAYTIME RUNNING lights on.

That would be my pic and I'm here in the State... (diggin' out from the Midwest Blizzard actually)... not sure what my CIP version I got but I had DRL selection from the get go:

Wow... your like a rare case... anymore people out there in the states with DRL option in the iDrive? I somhow think they screwed up the install on your CIP and enabled it or gave you a European version. Or new CIPs getting them?

Yeah, I seem to remember reading that US cars with newer CIP's and no NAV have the DRL selection in iDrive. I think I remember Iceman saying that NAV Pro (CCC) cars don't have it even in Europe.

No, at least some do; I think BMW is trying to comply with legislation so in countries (e.g. Sweden) where DRL are compulsory they are enabled and cannot be disabled. The US having different state-by-state regulations, but a free market for cars among states is clearly an ideal place to get confused.

I have the DRL option in I-Drive as well. I have v. 24.0 and have had the option since I got the car. I believe it's in the Driver's Manual so I thought it was a standard feature.
