I may ask my SA about this in break in service due in 10 days.

Hey, I've been experiencing this issue with my 2014 335xi where it seems like it's not dimming. Apparently when I asked my SA and looked in the OM the car uses the sensor from your rear view mirror to dim the sides as well. I tested it by pointing a flashlight directly at the sensor in the rearview mirror (At night). When I did that, SUCCESS: the mirrors did in fact dim normally.
HOWEVER since I have a tint, they don't work well when there is a giant truck behind me, also at times the exterior mirrors dim slower than the rearview which kind of sucks but anyway, they dimmed with the rearview (no delay) when I tested them. Hope that helps!
P.S. Make sure you turn your headlights on, this way the light sensor will be on for sure.
