As many of you know, I had progman updated to either 30xxxx or 31xxxx, I can't remember which. Someone mentioned that the later upgrades include the option of turning DRL on or off at will. I've looked just about anywhere in iDrive and can't find that option. Does anybody know if 3xxxxxx includes the option? If so, where is it located in iDrive? TIA

Sorry i dont know the version number but this option appeared for me when they updated me to Aug 10 2006. DRL is the same as switching on your lights, I dont run with DRL on I like to leave my lights on auto. Its cool to see them come on when you go through a tunnel.

I don't think your '06 will display that option in iDrive even with program updates. My '07 won't because it's an early production date. I'm afraid (FOR USA MODELS) It's a dealer activate situation.

Maybe it's a US market thing. I had DRL active when I bought the car, had the software updated and got the DRL switched off but there is nothing in the iDrive to allow me to switch it on or off.
