(I would appreciate if someone could post the pic of iDrive DRL menu... I've never seen it.)
Do you think direct coding can activate DRL or enable DRL menu on iDrive?
As an alternative approach, I installed Daeos DRL system to supply power directly to angel eyes.
It worked fine at first but my LED bulbs got broken after a few minutes.
Looks like LED chips were burned out due to overdrive. I had to replace them.
(Actually Nick@JleviSW advised me that they have no experiences with Daeos on E92 because DRL feature is already activated from the factory in the US.)
I guess E92 supplies different/lower voltage (lower than 12V) to angel rings when it runs DRL only.
Am I correct?
BTW, I use BREX LEDs that called "M3 Doping Edition". It's the best Angel Eye LED in Japan. Very tough to install, though. (You need to remove the factory reflector.)
See the pics posted.

Wow, those AEs look great. More info/pics?
Sorry to hear about your troubles with the Daeos harness, it was designed for E90 NA-Spec applications only.
