Dimming is definately worth it especially if you travel frequently at night or live in a rural area where headlights are light pollution. I noticed the difference between my Chrysler and the new '07 3-series right away. In fact, my wife noticed immediately how the bright lights from the car behind us was not blinding her in the passenger side-view. I then realized how nice it was to have auto-dimming interior/exterior mirrors.
