So for a post more on topic to this thread...

I picked up my X3 last night and I was sitting here reading the manual. The manual actually says that DRLs consist of the low beams. It says: " when the daytime running lamps are activated, refer to page 59, the low-beam headlamps are always switched on when the switch is in this position (meaning automatic headlamp position) and the ignition is on."

Does this mean that DRLs are not on if you have the headlamp switch on anything other than automatic? For some reason tonight my fog lights were on but I did not have them switched on. I'll have to look into that. BTW, I don't think DRLs are activated on my x3 right now.
