DRL Software
I might have dreamt this, but I'm sure I've seen something about there being a software update that allows the DRLs to work correctly on pre face lift E90s with Xenons, i.e., the Angel Eyes come on without the dipped beams.
Can anyone confirm this one way or the other - mine's at the Stealer's again (as they only did 1/2 a job last time), and I'm going to get them to update the software if its true (its the least they can do as an apology!). Cheers,

I don't think so because the corona rings on the pre-LCI e90 are essentially just sidelights with a 6w bulb and are not powerful enough on their own to be any good as DRLs in isolation - hence the dipped beam lighting too. The DRL on the e92 uses a 35W H8 bulb which is somewhat brighter.
