you could turn off the drl through the idrive. you could make the angel eyes light up when you put the park light on, one turn to the right from the "0". hope this helps.

In the USA, on older model cars (like yours) you can't activate or deactivate the DRL's by yourself. Only the dealer can do this.
I can't remember if an older car with newer software allows this setting but if you can't find it in the settings menu right now, then clearly you don't have that ability at this time...

I have a 2004 W/ 27.X progman and I do not have the option of DRL. You have to have the dealer do this for you. Under the lighting menu you can only change the Pathway light time.

Hey guys,
I have the same year and model you have '04 545i and I had to have the dealership perform that option for me.
On the newer cars you can access that via the I drive, but not on our models.
Hope that helps,
