Just a quick question about DRL:s
- will the canadian setting match the new EU:directives with lights only in the front?
- Will my dealer change the settings without too much persuation?
Help please, I´m tired of wearing out xenons!
Thanks in advance.

I suggest you ring your dealer and ask them the same question.

Agreed, they should be able to do it for you, but theres only one way to find out  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I was more looking for someone to confirm that canadian setting dousn´t light up the rear of the car as I don´t think that would be neceseary. I have been looking on several post in order to find out if canadian setting uses a dimmed high-beam as I would prefer that. Or do i have to install LED lights in the front?
Clarify please!

A VERY quick search threw up the following
Post 7 in this thread by Bobby seem pretty informative

Seems that Canadian lights up the rears too.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) use the full intensity low beam headlamps which are permanently illuminated when the vehicle is being driven. DRL are used in a number of markets and there are two systems to cover these markets.

DRL CANADIAN MARKET

DRL for this market use full intensity low beam headlamps. The side marker lamps, tail lamps and license plate lamps will be on, but instrument cluster illumination will be off. DRL are active when the following parameters are met:

*Parking brake is off on vehicles with manual transmission or PARK is not selected on vehicles with automatic
transmission
*Ignition switch is in the ignition position (II)
*The Central Junction Box (CJB) receives an engine running signal
*The lighting control switch is in the off or side lamps position.

NOTE:
If the lighting control switch is moved to the headlamp position, DRL are deactivated and normal side lamp and
headlamp functionality is operational.

NOTE:
Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) (where fitted) is non-functional when the DRL are active.

NOTE:
When DRL are active, the headlamp flash function using the left hand steering column multifunction switch will operate normally. The high beam headlamp function using the left hand steering column stalk switch will be deactivated.

When the parking brake is applied on manual transmission vehicles or the selector lever is in the PARK position on automatic transmission vehicles, DRL are turned off. This is to reduce battery discharge during long periods of engine idling in cold climate conditions. When the parking brake is released or the selector lever is moved from the PARK position, normal DRL functionality is restored.

DRL DENMARK, HOLLAND, NORWAY, SWEDEN, FINLAND & POLAND

DRL for these markets use full intensity low beam headlamps. Side lamps and license plate lamps will be on, but instrument cluster illumination will be off. DRL are active when the following parameters are met:

*Ignition switch is in the ignition position (II)
*The CJB receives an engine running signal
*The lighting control switch is in the off position.

NOTE:
When DRL are active, the headlamp flash function using the left hand steering column multifunction switch will operate normally. The high beam headlamp function using the left hand steering column stalk switch will be deactivated.

If the lighting control switch is moved to the side lamp or headlamp positions, DRL are deactivated and normal side lamp and headlamp functionality is operational.
