Passenger Side Mirror problem persists
I had adjusted my side view mirrors to practically avoid blind spots as per the doc shown below and suggested by many others on the Internet:
http://www.northstarbmw.org/forms/blindzone.pdf This setting makes the mirros little more outward. After making such a setting I noticed that passenger side mirror stopped folding in with press of the folding button whereas the driver side mirror was working ok. I took the X 3 to dealer, who initialized the mirrors and it all started working ok. I drove back home and readjusted my blind spot settings and noticed that the same problem surfaced back again. Have you noticed this problem in your X3? |

I read it somewhere if whole mirror assembly is to be replaced then door inner panels are to be removed first as the assembly is screwed from inside. I am not sure if the dealer can get the job done professionally but I think I have no other choice. Mirror assembly moves ok during top view captures. |

What do you mean by this? Mirror assembly shouldn't move in support of Top View; the mirrors need to be unfolded, but don't move. Are yours doing something?

It looks that motor controlling the mirror is ok. As the folding of the mirror assembly does not work on the passenger side all the time ( works sometimes 1 out of 10), But unfolding works all the time, I suspect motor is ok but some thing wrong with the control mechanism. I will drive back to the dealer this Monday but will be happy if it can be repaired without removing the assembly. Last edited by April1; 11-25-2011 at 12:24 PM.. |

Today I went to the dealer again, supervisor initalized the settings again and told me he tried 15 times and passenger side mirror assembly is working fine. I myself tried it in his presence and it got stuck on the very second attempt. Finally he said he will order the new mirror assembly and will call me again in two days when he gets it.

Dealer finally received the new mirror assembly and replaced it, it needed programming again. Now both the side view mirrors fold in completely.
I noticed that the replaced mirror takes more time to fold in and out. Does any one notice the speed difference? Is there a programmable setting to adjust the speed of movement? |

Sorry, but it would be a return visit to the dealer if your challenge affected my vehicle. Good luck. Oh! I do not know about a user programable setting but Lotus7 might? |
