Hmmm that's odd ... should only on during the day (if the switch in auto) the main reason they call it DRL ... somethin' maybe wrong.
That will bother on coming traffic since it's a hi-beam reflector so the light pattern may blind them if it's on all the time.

I have the DRL on/off option in my iDrive menu, if you don't have it since it is depend on the model year and/or option then the Dealer must do it for you.

Your dealer can disable it. I asked my dealer to do it when I had to get service done and they did it no charge.

You'll need to have the dealer disable your DRL if that option is not in your iDrive menu. It would be in the "I" section in the Vehicle settings section.
