No, the lkm doesn't control this, the general module does.

When you turn the key off and get out at night the interior lights fade out.
Or any time you get in. On the cars before 9/91 the delay for the lights to go off was 20 seconds, on the cars after 9/91 the delay is reduced to 15 seconds. Or if you have put a newer general module in then its 15 seconds.
My '91 535i (9/90) 5sp has always had that cool fade! Love it!!

Well, are they supposed to "fade" out or do they just shut off? Mine shut off on a time delay, which seems normal, but they've never faded out, from what I recall.

my 95 525iT kinda goes off & my 97 740iL fades....
...the e38 fades slowly on and off and does it more distinguishably than my 95 e34 which goes off more abruptly. (just tested both out in the garage)
But remember...Tim has a 95 540i which has some features that are in-common with the e38 and e39. For example, the 95 540i uses the same type of key, and has the same keyless entry and anti-theft system as the 95 7 series. So his interior lights probably do fade in and out slower than other e34s.
