I see this is a new 2010 option. Can someone explain what this is / does?
Very curious!

Thanks

I have it on my 2010 335xi. Its great ,you click on highbeams and it see's the light from an on coming car and clicks high beams down and when car passes it clicks them back up for you. It also click them down when you enter a well lit area. IMHO its worth it not to have to click up and down all the time.

Hopefully it's been improved from the "Autronic Eye" Cadillac had in the 50's & 60's which would dim the headlights for overhead street lights!
