Your E92 had xenon lights but you only have halogen lights on the F10 and so the daytime running lights (DRL) actually switches on the dipped beam (as you have discovered) because the halogen rings are not bright enough to be daytime lights and only function as parking lights.

You will only get the angel eyes only with xenon headlights.

Halogen lights look yellow - you can put bulbs with a blue tint in if you like but they look a bit naff IMO. A quality bulb like nightbreakers is your best bet but you won't really get the xenon look without HID / LED.
