Did your turn signal lights turn on after installing the LED bulb or were they an option you could turn on before?
Your North America statement is 1/2 correct - United States do NOT require DRL

My guess as why the parking lights were on after installing LED has to do with coding. BMW's code may turn on the parking light of that side if it detects a bulb out on the angel eye of that side as a safety feature. You want something to light up on both sides of a car so it doesn't confuse people - that it's a car and not a motorcycle. Try coding out monitoring on the angel eye to see if this is still an issue?
