E92 headlight question

So I was reading a little about the E92 in the book I got from the dealership, and read that the E92 uses the angel eyes as its DRL's. Upon a closer look, there isnt even a bulb in the headlight unit where the 'flasher bulbs' are on the E90.

My question is, what does it use for flashing? If it has no bulbs and the DRL's are the angel eyes, what will flash? Does it temporarily turn on the xenons?

If you're asking about "flashing" your high-beam lights, then yes, you are correct, it temporarily turns on the Xenon high-beams.

This pic implies there is a DRL bulb in the innermost lens (if I understood correctly)...

There is not. There is a bulb that lights up the angel eyes, xenon bulb, turn signal and city light (in the upper corner). There is no inside flash to pass bulb. Its a dummy reflector housing.

So xenon flash to pass... thats nice...
