Yup DRLS are a MUST in Canada. Even when importing an vehicle from the states, you must have the DRLS enabled for the car to pass safety inspections and such.

I just checked, I can turn them on or off in idrive. Maybe it's a US thing?

Mine is a May 2004 built and has the option in idrive listed.
If you really have the newest software, ask your dealer why it isn't enabled.

US pre-lci e60's AFAIK do not have that option via iDrive...I could be wrong tho...
LCI e60's can access DRL controls via iDrive...

this is correct.
DRLs can be deactivated using the iDrive on non-US, pre-LCI & LCI e60's.

Yep, just as Gene highlighted above. Pre-LCI cars in Europe can turn on/off DRL's while that only became an option in the US with the LCI cars...

Where?
In the Netherlands where he is located! Kidding aside, my memory is likely bad but I don't recall updated software on Pre-LCI cars in the US adding the ability to turn on/off DRL's. Silly really...
