My Ride: 535d Sport Tourer - E34 M5 Race Car
As the nights have been drawing in I've noticed that my (UK) 535d Sport Touring doesn't have an autodim rear-view mirror. I've looked on the BMW configurator and the autodim function shows as Std Spec.
Should I have this as std on my Jan 05 build ?
thanks,
J

It only became standard in the UK on the saloon in March 05 so imagine the touring would have been the same.

Was in the dealer today and the anti dazzler rear view mirror is in the optional accesories brochure for 2004/5 - two different types (one including compass) for about ?250 (plus labour + VAT) - probably looking at ?400 fitted from the dealer i reckon.

It's a joke isn't it. Even the old 3 series got dimming interior mirror 
I was in the same situation as you but I decided to get the dimming mirror installed. I went for the one with the garage door opener ?250 but you also need a wiring loom part ?15. Dealer charged me 1 hour labour.
Don't forget to ask for a discount on parts. You should be able to get 10% off without too much trouble....I did!
