Seriously, I wish my DRLs were like the LCI version.

I've got a 2005 535d and have recently have the software on the car upgraded by my dealer. Since doing so I have the DRL option in my lights menu. When I select it I get full lights (xenons, angels eyes and eye brows)

USA and Europe spec E60s are different when it comes to the Daytime Running Lights. EUR spec cars can select DRL via iDrive. In the US, the dealer has to set it. Of course some clever folks (a.k.a. non-BMW official repair shops) have properly figured out how to add the DRL option for US cars.

I saw an e60 the other day with very bright angel eyes. Do not know if it was a mod. They were bright white, and would be great as DRL's.
