BMW has demonstrated its faith in the quality of Gentex car parts, it has been claimed.

The German manufacturer’s 2010 X1 SUV is set to feature the US company’s auto-dimming mirror and its High Beam Headlamp Assist system.

Enoch Jen is senior vice-president of the company responsible for making the auto parts and he pointed out this is not the first vehicle produced by the carmaker to feature his firm’s technology.

He stated: "BMW is a long-time Gentex customer and continues to see the value of our products, as is evidenced by their increased availability on the majority of BMW models."

The auto-dimming mirror is designed to prevent drivers from being dazzled by vehicles approaching from behind and the High-Beam Headlamp Assist device automatically changes light intensity in accordance with traffic conditions.

Meanwhile, it was previously announced that the new Vauxhall Astra is also being equipped with some of the same technology.
