parking mirror

mitch88 · 05-01-2007, 12:02 PM

I drove a 5 series previous to my current car and I remember the right mirror tilted down when parking. I have tried putting the mirror switch on both the left and right setting and the mirror never tilts when I put it in reverse. Is this not a feature on the new 3 because I thought it was on the E46 as well.

Thanks

I have that feature on my E92 but sometimes it can be a little slow to react..

i hope this helps, If you have the premium package it should tilt down only the right mirrow tho. you have to wait a few seconds for it to tilt down also

Mine works fine... yes I have the premium pkg as well.

If you have the option, it will tilt, but the mirror adjustor selector MUST be set on the DRIVER's side for the passenger mirror to tilt down.

There is a little switch that allows you to choose which mirror you are adjusting-- again, it must be set to the DRIVER's side for the passenger mirror to tilt down.

If you don't like it, leave it set to the passenger side. It will not tilt down.

Do you have the Premium package? If not, then I don't think you have that option.

What he ^ said.

I do not have the ZPP, and my mirror tilts down as well.

I don't have any package on my car, but my passenger mirror still tilts down when the mirror switch is on the driver's position.

mitch88 · 05-01-2007, 06:57 PM

I don't have prem package but the last guy just said he doesn't have any packages and still has the tilt mirror. Anyone else out there that doesn't have prem. pack. and still has tilt mirror?

I would assume that the 335 might come standard with a few things here and there that are optional on a 328.

18LLC · 05-01-2007, 07:57 PM

it's standard feature, no matter u have what pkg or not even have any options, 325, 328, 330 and 335, xi or i. check with your dealer

kevE90 · 05-01-2007, 08:08 PM

It is only for cars equipped with premium package or power seats. If you don't have power seats on your 325/328 you do not have this feature.

That would explain it. The 335 and 330 come standard with power seats.

The OP is in CANADA. They do things a little differently there. It is entirely possible your mirror doesn't have this feature because you didn't get the right options/model. I just don't know what those options are. Power seats or Premium I think.

E90Fleet · 05-02-2007, 02:38 AM

You either need power seats or folding mirrors to have the mirror tilt

and for Canadian cars, it looks like power seats are only available on the 328 with the Premium Pack, not as a standalone option. At least according to BMW.CA

Thanks for sticking a fork in it Fleet. This was debated to death a couple of months ago too...

chbrules · 05-02-2007, 07:02 AM

Mine tilts down, then all of a sudden it wouldn't go anymore. I had to take it in to the dealership and they had to reflash some firmware in the entire door to get it working again. Crazy stuff. It worked after, but now it's not freakin working again! I gotta double check if my g/f fiddled with the mirror control again to make sure it's not acting up again.
