My side mirror stopped tilting down when I put it in reverse. This happened after it was left outside in freezing weather, so I thought it was just frozen shut. But I've since parked it in the garage where it's well above freezing. It should be all thawed out by now, but it still isn't tilting. Has anyone run into this issue before?

Did you check the mirror switch is in the inboard slide position?

One other important thing to mention, my X3 does not have the power folding mirrors. I'll check that switch to see if it makes a difference, but I never touch it so I don't know how it would work one day and not the next. We'll see

The mirror adjustment switch needs to be set to the driver's side adjustment and it will automatically dip...doesn't matter if you have the auto fold mirrors or not!

UPDATE: It was the mirror adjustment switch after all. I always leave it in the drivers side position, and I haven't touched it, so I didn't think this was the case. After further inspection, the switch was "kinda" in the drivers side position, but not all the way. I must have bumped it slightly to where it was somewhere in the middle. Once I toggled it to the right and then left again it started to work as normal. Thanks for all the advice guys!
