Mirrors and rear camera functions

My rear view camera works great however when I put the car into reverse, only the passenger mirror automatically tilts down to set angle. No movement at all from driver's side. Is this how it is on all 535i? Anyone else experiencing this?

How do you switch this tilting on? I have it on my E46, but not on my F11. Miss it!

It only works if the mirror selection switch is set to the driver's side mirror and operates automatically when you shift into reverse. If you do not want it on, leave the mirror selector switch to the passenger side.

It also requires option comfort seats.

In the UK you do not need to order the comfort seat option, but must of specified the mirror pack (dipping & dimming).

Strange, I see that it says so on UK web site, but in the Skandinavian sites dimming mirrors includes folding but not the tilting for the same option code. I thought this was because tilting mirrors would needs the posibility to memorize positions for seat/steering weels/mirrors, and this memory functionality is included with the comfort seats/electrical seats option.

I am 99.9% sure that I do not have the comfort seats option and my passenger side mirror folds down when I go in to reverse.

you have the standard seats and only the option mirror package?In Belgium here are also the comfort seats required. But the dealer said that you've only need the option dimming and folding mirrors. I don't believe him

I most definitely do have the standard seats. My mirrors are dimming and when the switch is in the drivers side position, the passenger side mirror folds down. It's actually very handy!

In Italy folding mirror and tilting mirrors are a specific option (430) independent from any seat's option.
This option is included with the so called Futura version.
