The other thing I was talking about is the mirror dip, where the mirror glass moves down when the vehicle is in reverse. This should be available on every BMW regardless of option selection. |

Thank you for this tip returnzero! I swear it worked the day I picked up my car and it stopped working the day after... Because I just adjusted the side mirrors on the passenger side!! I'm sure that's the problem, Thank you!

I don't remember the exact setting, it's part of ESys. If you look through the coding cheat sheets you'll find the delay value which you can change to zero. No way to do it other than that - you have to code it.

Don't understand why the default value would be 5sec though. It is a long time to hold the button just to fold in the mirrors. Previous car I had you just had to do a double click and the mirrors would fold. |

That's what I thought in the uk too ... I don't need the folding function but the auto dimming is brilliant. There is so much confusion and lack of clarity around what does or doesn't feature as standard or in the options and I read somewhere that the mirrors dimmed as standard which would negate my need for the option

Taken from the UK build tool: Ext. mirrors - folding, auto dimming
£ 300.00 Exterior mirrors, automatically dimming, folding. Light sensitive, fast reacting dimming effect reducing glare from following headlights. Exterior mirrors fold in to protect from damage when parked or negotiating narrow gaps. I suppose it's safe to assume that without this option, they don't auto dim. |

I've just tried a (slightly) more scientific test - sitting in the car, in the near-dark, using a small torch held over the light sensor in the rear-view mirror. There were faint lights behind me that I could see in the mirrors and, when I switched the torch on, I could see the rear-view mirror dim but there was no change in the side mirrors.

Your test sounds good - however I hope your weren't parked in a secluded spot flashing your torch as that might have taken some explaining....
My folding door mirrors are hopefully on a ship (perhaps the 'Courage'?) and I'd like to think that they're still attached to the vehicle. They were added as part of the "Active security package". If they hadn't have been part of that, then I don't think I'd have bothered as I don't use the ones I currently have. |
