“Tl-caller owns a 2007 Bmw x5. Current mileage is 650. Driving at night at 50mph the car behind him had very bright lights. He reached to push the dimmer on the rearview mirror and noticed that there is no dimmer switch. Spoke with dealer who informed him that rearview dimmer is not standard and to get rearview mirror dimmer you have to get a package that is an additional $4,000.00. Ktf updated 06/06/07.”
