My Ride: 2008 Sapphire Black on Black M5 - loaded sans soft close doors
Ok guys, the car has a whopping 42 miles on it now and we finally got a dry day here in Chicago so I took it to work. While it is cloudy, it certainly is not dark. But I noticed that my auto headlights turned on as I pulled out of the dark garage and stayed on the entire time.
Are these really sensitive or do they take a lot of light to turn off?

I think that your dealer can adjust the sensitivity; no problems for me in Phoenix.
