I like the idea, but it not dimming as the cabin gets darker would drive me mad.
They do dim a bit when the automatic lights are on. At night and you can use night mode for google maps, etc based on the android system time.

I actually haven't driven the e90 at night yet to test it but it is the same unit (with different wiring and mounting) as the one in my e70 and the e70 does dim.

With that said I don't see a setting to control how much it dims between day and night, only a base brightness and then it dims a set amount from there when the lights are turns on..
