I'm sure it is possible but it's going to be a challenge.
You'd need a new switch unit:http://bmwfans.info/original/E85/roa/Z4 3.0i-M54/ECE/R/N/2005/06/mg-61/ill-61_1681/ for starters. One that has the auto on function built in.
Then the appropiate light sensor which I think is on the screen near the rain sensor and some retrofit wiring
My gut feeling is then it would need coding to recognise the function, but that's a guess.
Good luck - not a project I'd bother with given the costs, uncertainty and based on comments of some lack of merit (although I like them on mine)

I like them too. Useful when going in an out of tunels and when driving into a dark garage or car park. I would not bother to retrofit nor pay money as a new fit option.
In terms of adjustment it may be possible but I did read a TSB that referred BMW technicians to explain that they operate in a different way to human perception of light/dark and therefore may appear to come on too soon or too late (my wording not exact from the TSB). Sounded like a technical 'get lost' response to complaints.

That's it pvr - ta. I wish I could find the TSB about them, it clearly spelled out that the customer should be dissuaded from any changes. That to me implied it could be done at the stealers.
