Next to the light control in BMW 3 Series is the instrument panel brightness adjustment button. Turning this knob upward increases brightness, while turning it downward decreases brightness. BMW 3 Series models include: BMW 320i, BMW 325iM, BMW 320LiM, BMW 325Li xDrive M, BMW 320Li, etc. Taking the 2021 BMW 320i as an example, it is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 156PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power of 115kW, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

I've been driving my 3 Series for almost three years now. The light control stalk is right on the left side of the steering wheel - just a thumb twist to turn the headlights on/off. That round knob positioned closer to the cabin side is particularly noticeable; I use it to adjust dashboard brightness during daytime. See, when driving on highways at night, I often turn it two clicks towards the '+' direction - keeps the digital instrument cluster from being too glaring. If turned all the way, even the central display will switch to its dimmest mode. The placement is so ergonomic that I never need to look down to find it.
