I was having this conversation with my Mum on Sunday about Auto Lights. She has a BMW and she hates having the Auto lights on because they don't come on when she expects and don't go off when she expects. ie it was really sunny on Sunday but the lights were still on but BMW make the sensor setting very sensative so they do stay on longer, but she prefers the way that mines switch on and off quickly when needs be.
I have to say I was a bit miffed with them going on when it was still a bit dusky the other day, all the other cars had their lights on apart from me so I just did it manually but its been reported that having your lights on at these times means your less likely to be involved in an accident.
I'm sure that if you want them to be more sensative your dealer can do this. I know that BMW can make them more or less sensative but if you ask for the sensativity to be reduced then you must sign a disclaimer that you understand that if you cannot sue BMW if your stopped for not having your lights on when you should. We were told this was due to some guy abroad having the light sensativity reduced, he came out of a tunnel and they went off but they would have reamined on if this hadn't been done. He was stopped by the police and he made a complaint against BMW because they hadn't told him they would switch off in situations like that. doh!
