Maybe I check my mirrors too often, I always get blinded by trucks following me before the mirrors kicks in.
Looks like the majority of us have the dimming mirror. I think an on/off button would complete it though.

My Ride: '04 BMW E60 530d High Executive
no problem, but on my e39 the mirrors on the side of the car were also bleuish. I'm missing this on the e60, so only the inside mirror is autodimming so i still get dizzy from the outer mirrors :S

I have them, but I don't really like them. They can be useful on a really long highway trip. But in everyday driving, with the potential for a lot of lane changing, I want to see everything as clearly as possible. For example, they prevent you from being able to see some bozo who forgot to turn his headlights on if there are other cars behind you with their lights on. In my opinion, they really need an on/off switch with an I-drive preference.
