Pleasure to assist if I can, Rob. But as it seems I may have confused the issue with our 2012 X3 35i X-line's data, as my wife is now home (she gets to drive the 2015 X3 35i M-Sport ), I am able to compare side by side, and perhaps a bit more accurately with her assistance. I used two pieces of wood each 1-1/16" wide each set vertically on the ground at the widest points of the folded side mirrors and the rear wheel well trims superiorly, and measured at the point of contact in case wood not vertical with ground.

Interesting data - it would appear the LCI does indeed bring the mirrors flush with the side, but not so our pre-LCI 2012. So here are the pictures. You are fine regardless given your garage width, and still an estimation with human error involved, but I did wish to clear up the confusion as best I could.
