I was sitting in my e60 loaner and got bored so I decided to turn the red dome under the mirror. If u turn in, the mirror dips down. Turn it back, its back to normal. Useless but cool feature.

I thought the e60 mirrors were autodimming, mine definately are, when theres a car behind with headlights on the glass tints blue.
