congrats on the mirrors.
I have this fontion the dimmer part
I hate it, I have disabled it in my last e60 and my new e60.
in the night in HK it just gets so dark that I can not see the cars at all just the 2 head lights.
I feel much safer if I can see the car behind.
Also it so dark that I can not tell if it is a police car not not

Got my car back from the service center today, Had a full software update and retrofit programming for:-
Ext. MIrrors Auto dimming/ Folding.
Very happy
, They checked the wirring and I think they changed some thing because they couldn`t get the programming to work to start with. Also need to have a new Telematics (Bluetooth) TCU fitted which is on it`s way from germany.
I now have the new menu colours and also the maps are much more detailed than before, looks much better.

Where they able to add auto dipping and what are the new menu colours?

and you wont need to worry about police behind you lol, maybe its just an adjustment to the light sensor that's needed rather then complete turn off?

it not just police, it the night runners that drive very fast over 150km on a 70km roads and need to look out for them in HK, they tend to dodge in and out of all cars.
