I'm assuming this would be the interior light delay, it delays the interior light from going off for about 8 seconds after entering the car, I think it's located down behind the front drivers (RHD) side speaker.

It is not i think, that is different, Im thinking it slowly turns the light off (fading) after a delay or when you close the door if you dont have delay !? Correct me someone if Im wrong, i didt hear about that in the e30s but it must be when its in ETK for e30

Ahh, never seen fading lights on an E30 over here before, only the light delay function which is pretty common over here.
