Owner's description
THE AUTO-DIMMING FEATURE OF THE DIGITAL INSTRUMENT PANEL ON 2020 BMW X5 MODELS IS POORLY IMPLEMENTED, AND UNDER VARIABLE LIGHTING CONDITIONS (CLOUDY, SNOWY, SUNRISE, SUNSET), IT DIMS AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES, SUCH AS WHEN DRIVING TOWARD THE SUN AT SUNRISE OR SUNSET. THIS MAKES THE DISPLAY EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO READ AND UNSAFE. THE AUTO-DIMMING FEATURE FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS ONLY APPROPRIATE UNDER NIGHT-DRIVING CONDITIONS.
