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...
