For the E70, basically deleting the amber blinkers as the parking lights does the trick for the headlights, as the corona rings are the parking lights.
For my older X3 (before corona rings were introduced for the LCI in 09/06), there was a small bulb that fit in the upper corner of the high beam, similar to the E46 and many other cars. For North America since the blinker functions as the parking light, the small bulb is deleted. So once I deleted the amber light as the parking light, I had to put in that extra bulb. The blinker still works fully as designed.
Of course, in Europe they don't have the reflector embedded in the corner or the wheelwell (in the case of the E70) but I'm not going to go thru that trouble.
