I have a 2018 BMW X3 and took it into the dealer to say the mirror dimmer was not working and he shone a torch on it and said they do not fully dip but what I want to know is should auto dimming eliminate the need to physically tilt the centre rear view mirror or not? What I am going to do now is hang a small mirror from the centre rear view mirror and shine a torch on both and see if I notice any difference in brightness. The dealer is going to allow me to do the same check on another model vehicle in their yard for comparison. Should the other vehicle be no different in the degree of dimming I will just have to assume dimming technology is not as advanced as the advertising would give the impression a bit like all the latest safety aids that have their limits that are not advertised.
