folding rear view mirrors
I just got a '15 428i cv in Estoril Blue M Sport...
I want the rear view mirrors to auto-fold when I lock the car. The manual says you can tap on the door handle for a few seconds and that should do it. No luck for me -- only the doors are locked when I do that. The small square button in the driverside mirror control panel does the trick though. Any advice? |

OP is referring to side view mirrors before anyone flames him.
It's just a matter of hitting the button upon exiting the vehicle. You'll learn to do it on instinct after a while.

Welcome and congrats. That feature needs to be coded.

I have it coded to only fold if I hold the key fob or press the comfort access button for 2 seconds. Otherwise my car will just lock as normal. I like the option of not having them fold, though there is probably never a reason why I wouldnt want them folded...LOL.

Thanks all. And yes, I meant side view mirrors.
So it's not configurable in the settings menu I guess, though the manual suggests this behavior. Weird. If it requires coding / cabling and stuff, I won't mess with it for now. |

You have to remember that the cars are built for global markets. They generally do a good job of matching the manuals to the market, but occasionally something slips through. And, yes, software and cables required to code it.
