does passenger side mirror dim?
had a question. from these pics you can clearly see that the driver side has the dimming mirror feature and i've witnessed working several times. but i never see my passenger side mirror dim and it also does not have the dimming area like on the drivers side. should my passenger side look similar to the driver side mirror and dim? i just got this car so i'm unsure about this. this is on my 2017 x3 35i. anyone else have this feature that can comment?

Beginning with the 2017 model year, the passenger side mirror on the X3 and several other BMW models no longer dims. See link above. |

I understand the reason for the change. Quite simply it is a money grab. The production cost goes down but the purchase prices continue to increase. We see you BMW.

There's a slider switch on the driver's door armrest which controls which mirror is adjusted by the mirror controls. Switch it to the other position, and you'll have a tilting mirror again.
