Just wondering if anyone liked the old blue tint on the side view mirrors that BMW's used to have on their cars. I honestly like it, but don't know what it was for. Debating whether or not to put tint on my f30 side view mirrors. Would that affect the auto dim?

Probably wont affect your autodim. I never liked that blue hue though. Useless in my opinion.

I loved the blue hue on the old BMW models better of course IMO.

The bluee hue was to help reduce eye strain from cars behind you with headlights that are too bright (i think but im pretty sure)
that is pointless now that we have auto dimming mirrors
also those blue tints soak up UV rays way too much and starts to burn the tint and then your mirrors end up being useless
thats why a lot of old german cars with these blue tints you see on the road have rusted looking mirrors

Wasnt the blue tint on side view mirrors the auto dimming thing?
