When you went to pick up your car, did the dealer ask you questions like "do you want the daytime running lights?" I'm thinking maybe my dealership has a standard list of questions they ask for any new BMW they sell, and maybe the list hasn't been updated for the E90, which you say doesn't yet have DRLs.

I just found it a little odd that you can set up just about any feature through iDrive except the DRLs. My dealer did mention something that insurance prices sometimes go down a little if your car is equipped with the DRLs, so I thought maybe in order to qualify for a lower rate, the dealer has to set the DRLs and then they can't be adjusted through iDrive--if the insurance company has you down for DRLs... That sort of makes sense, I guess...
